No, but if the borrower misses enough payments, the cosigner will start getting collection calls as well.
A lender can't garnish wages; that has to be done by court order. That can be accomplished, but usually only after the lender has made the cosigner responsible for the debt and failed to collect. After all, that's the responsibility of being the cosigner -- to provide payment should the primary borrower fail to pay.
No, the cosigner may be the first one the lender attempts to collect from if the primary borrower defaults. That will probably be the only "warning" one receives.
Yes. But for now the lender has you and will get their money from you as they would the primary borrower. Cosigning is a really, really bad idea. At least for the cosigner. Everyone else seems to benefit.
No. There is no legal obligation for the lender to notify the cosigner that the primary borrower is in default.
To obtain a loan with a cosigner, the primary borrower typically needs to meet the lender's credit and income requirements. The cosigner must have a good credit score and sufficient income to cover the loan payments if the primary borrower cannot.

No. The cosigner will still be equally responsible for the debt
As a cosigner for a 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. Additionally, if the borrower defaults on the loan, you may be pursued by the lender for payment. It is important to carefully consider the risks before agreeing to be a cosigner.
A cosigner for a loan is responsible for repaying the loan if the primary borrower fails to do so. The cosigner's credit score can be affected if payments are missed, and they may be pursued by the lender for payment. It's important for a cosigner to understand the terms of the loan and be prepared to step in if needed.
When the primary borrower defaults the cosigner becomes legally responsible for the loan. If the cosigner is not able to pay the loan he or she can also be subject to legal action by the lender and the cosigner's credit score will be seriously affected.
The cosigner has the same legal obligations to repay the debt as does the primary borrower. If the primary borrower defaults, the lender can begin proceedings to collect the full amount owed plus applicable fees from the cosigner. A cosigner can be sued just as can the primary borrower. And if the primary borrower claims bankrutpcy, the cosigner will still get "stuck" with the debt. The credit report of the cosigner will be equally affected, either in a positive or negative way, depending upon the circumstances.
