If you gave your son a vehicle and put yourself as a lienholder on the title can you legally repossess it?

Do you have a contract or agreement that says he will repay you? Has he breached that agreement and is he in DEFAULT of it by not paying? If so, yes.
(General rule for the future: Have your child sign a contract for any money you "give" him, like any lender would do.)

Can they repossess your car with out a court order in the state of Vermont?
They don't require a court order to repossess a vehicle... the only way a court order would be required is if the court had ordered you to give up your vehicle as collateral if you found yourself on the losing end of a lawsuit or something to that effect. A vehicle which is paid off cannot be repossessed, because the lienholder - who is the lawful owner of that vehicle while they hold the title - is reclaiming their own property after a lessee fails to meet the conditions of their contract.
