The terms of the loan are between the bank, and you and your cosigner. To remove the cosigner, the bank would have to agree to pay off the loan and issue a new loan in your name only. Since the value of the car has probably decreased faster than you are paying down the loan, it is unlikely that there is any credit being generated.
Absolutely not!
The cosigner's credit isn't affected one ioto unless the person who was responsible for the loan payments defaulted, then and if the cosigner also defaulted. In other words, just being a cosigner does not affect ones credit ratings.
If the mortgage payments are still being made then no - they won't be, however - if you default on the mortgage payments then yes - they will go after the cosigner and if it is not paid their credit will be effected.
No. The cosigner should make certain the loan payments are being made since they guaranteed the loan would be paid back. If the primary borrower isn't paying then the cosigner must pay or their own credit record will be ruined and the lender can go after them for payment.No. The cosigner should make certain the loan payments are being made since they guaranteed the loan would be paid back.

yes it will, as a co-signer you are held just as responsible as the primary loan holder and it will appear on your credit report no matter if the payments are made on time or if they are late.
The cosigner is responsible for the loan and payments if the signer does not pay or keep up the payments. Your credit rating can be affected.
Usually no. You can try like a cheaper car dealership and see if they will, but they look at credit history to see if you made previous payments on time.
Yes, If the co-signer gets "dinged" on the credit report just like they where the signer
NO. As the cosigner, you are only guaranteeing the loan.
a co signer has a right to protect their credit- if you are not paying then legal action can be taken by the co signer
I had this very same instance come up and the police were called. They told me that as long as the payments were being made and you have proof of you making the payments on time, the cosigner has to leg to stand on when trying to take the car. So NO your cosigner can not take the car.
Two things to consider here: First, the cosigner is an equal owner of the vehicle regardless of whether or not any payment has been made by him. This is a matter of contract law. Second, and typically in cases where payments are not current, the cosigner/co-owner can take possession of the vehicle to protect his credit if his intention is to surrender the unit or to make payments current.
