Unfortunately, that's the risk of co-signing for a loan since the other party may not act responsibly. There's really not a lot you can do. You would have to continue making payments on the loan or risk defaulting, which would harm your credit. However, if she really needs the car, your telling her that you will stop making payments may get her to pay again and change her behavior.
