Immediately, you need to contact a lawyer in your area who can advise you. Google your local bar association for the County in which you live and/or google "Lemon Lawyers" in your area who represent consumers. Many times, a lemon lawyer can work something out. If you do nothing, they will repossess your car, sell it at a loss at a wholesale auto auction, and you will end up owing what isn't recouped after they sell your car at the wholesale auto auction for a fraction of its value, plus all of their expenses, costs and attorney's fees for coming after you. Do yourself a favor; talk to John Hanson at 858-451-0291 today.
