No, if you are so late with your payments, the bank just wants the car back. The police are not bank collectors, so a warrant will not be issued for your arrest. But, the repro guys will be following your every move. They will either come to your house and tell you that they are taking the car, or they will follow you to work or wherever you go and take the car then.

Failure to pay a car loan is a civil, not a criminal, matter. You can not be arrested for failure to pay for your car. The only case where an arrest warrant could be issued is if there is a court order for you to return the vehicle (such as in a bankruptcy case) and you fail to comply with that court order. The judge could order you arrested and held in contempt of court!

If you are not paying your payments, return the car. Hiding it just makes things worse for you. Either send in a payment TODAY (sell something else of value to get the money if needed) or call the finance company and tell them where to pick up the car!!

Generally not unless you assault the repo man.
Any legal action in auto repo is usually a civil litigation matter and once the guy has the car back, he will chase you for any difference in value between what he got and what you owe.

Not JUST for your vehicle being repossessed. Warrants are issued for various things, but there hasn't been a debtors prison for many years.

If you hide a vehicle and then interfere with the repossession agents once they find it to take it, you can be arrested though. Perhaps your best bet would be to make arrangements with the lender to either catch up, or to bring the car to them and do a voluntary repossession. It will still go on your credit report of course, but you will save some money that way since you won't be responsible for the towing and storage if you bring it to them.

I wish you well.

In some states, if you intentionally hide the car after being notified of repo, they can press criminal charges only after notifying DMV and taking your name off the title under the repo.

No that's why they are repossessing your car. You failed to make payment. You defaulted on your loan agreement to the bank or other lender. They are recovering their vehicle to make up for the losses. The more you drive their vehicle for free the more money they lose.
