It depends on the bank but generally one missed payment is enough to call the cosigner
The co-signer has no inherent authority to "call for" the payment in full of the loan. If the primary borrower is missing payments it is likely they cannot afford to repay the loan. In fact, if payments are being missed by the primary borrower the co-signer's responsibility will kick in and the lender will go after the co-signer for full payment of the loan.The co-signer has no inherent authority to "call for" the payment in full of the loan.

As a co-signer on a car loan, you are responsible for repaying the loan if the primary borrower fails to do so. This can impact your credit score and financial stability if payments are missed. It's important to understand the risks and obligations before agreeing to be a co-signer.
Your co-signer is listed on your title because they are legally responsible for the loan used to purchase the vehicle. This means they have a financial interest in the car and are liable for any missed payments or damages.
A co-signer for a loan is responsible for repaying the loan if the primary borrower fails to do so. The co-signer's credit score may be affected if payments are missed, and they are legally obligated to fulfill the loan terms if the primary borrower cannot.
That depends on the stipulations of the contract and the laws of the state you reside in. In most cases, the co-signer can use litigation to recover any money they have spent to cover the debt.
NO
Yes. That is the job of a co-signer, to make sure the signer makes the payments or to make the payments if the signer cannot.
When you fail to make payments, they go after the co-signer. It can affect his credit. If he makes the payments he can take the car. You wouldn't want to make payments for someone else's car.
No, that's the point of being a co-signer. Your role is to make sure the payments are made. If the primary person on the loan cannot make the payments, the co-signer is responsible for covering the payments. If a cosigner was not held responsible for the loan, it wouldn't make much sense to even have a co-signer.

No. A cosigner is basically a "lender of money." The cosigner is actually taking out the loan and is responsible for paying that debt off should the person the loan is for defaults. If you haven't missed any payments (more than two) and have paid the debt off then the car is yours to do as you want with it. Marcy
When you co-sign a loan, you are promising to pay off the loan in the event the primary borrower isn't able to. When you co-sign a loan, that loan appears on your own credit history too. (As such, it may limit your own ability to get a loan for yourself. For example, while you may co-sign a loan for a friend's car, you may not be able to get a loan for your own car afterwards. ) So, YES, as the co-signer you will be responsible for any missed payments by the primary borrower. After three missed payments the bank may not pursue you right away, they may continue attempting to get a payment from the primary borrower. However, some banks in some states contact the co-signer after only the first missed payment. While the time period or the bank's exact process may vary, if the primary borrower is missing payments, then it's only a matter of time before the bank does require you to pay. Several studies I have read show that close to 75% of co-signed loans go into default at some point and end up being paid by the co-signer. After all, that is exactly what you are promising to do when you sign on the dotted line. Good luck!
