I believe whoever has the title or if the title is still in your name, then yes you may take the car back. You may want to ask for sheriff back-up if there are any problems. Or just key the ignition and take-off, if you can. Some state laws may differ.

Will your car still be repossessed if you are late two or three payments but pay up to date after you get the default letter?

Read that letter carefully. The one that I am most familiar with clearly states that you have 20 days to make any past due payments and if they are paid you may continue with the original contract, BUT if you become delinquent again, they may exercise their rights without giving you any additional notice. That means from now on you had better not miss any payments, not even by one day, or your car could be repossessed.

Can your car be repossessed if there is not a lien on your car you were not behind on your payments?

If you have no lien on your vehicle then no one has a legal right to repossess it. If you're not behind on the payments there would be no reason for the lender to reprocess the car in the first place. It is hard to believe you have a loan on a car without a lien. The car stands behind the loan. If there's no lien on the vehicle then the car is not involved in the loan and cannot be repossessed.
