The automobile's title/registration determines the legal owner of the vehicle. Loan documents only concern the signer's legal responsibilities with the bank.
If both names are on the title and you as primary are not paying on the loan then it is the responsibility of the co-signer to pay the loan. Since the the co-signer is still co-owner, and they are paying then the co-signer can take the car away. Remember this is affecting the co-signer's credit as well as your credit.

The usual legal recourse for the cosigner when the person named as the primary on a loan has defaulted, is to make the payments on the loan. Then, the cosigner can take the person who defaulted to court to try and recoup some of the money they are out. If the loan was for a car, some states allow the cosigner to take possession of the car and sell it to recoup losses also.
Can you pay for a cosigner to help secure a loan or rental agreement?
No, you cannot pay someone to be a cosigner for a loan or rental agreement. A cosigner is someone who agrees to take on responsibility for the debt if the primary borrower fails to pay. It is based on trust and financial stability, not on payment.
