As soon as you are in default. You can always call your creditor and make them aware of your situation. The more you keep them in contact and let them know whats going on the better off you will be. They may offer to defer a couple of payments for you, instead of going through all that.

No, if you own the car outright and there is no lien against it, no one can repo the car under normal circumstances. The only reason I could think of would be if you owed the bank money and they sued you, and the court made you put the car up as collateral.
