Can a co-signer take the car away from the primary driver?

[Edit]
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-singer can take the car away. Remember this is affecting the co-signer's credit as well as your credit.

Answer

The automobile's title/registration determines the legal owner of the vehicle.

Loan documents only concern the signer's legal responsibilities with the bank.
