If you are behind in your monthly payments concerning the loan that you have on the car that you cannot afford to pay and the lender will not repossess the security for the loan (the car), there really is not much you can do to get the car repossessed by the lender.
You need to be aware that if the car is repossessed and sold for an amount less than what is owed on the loan, you are responsible for the deficiency in addition to assorted fees such as towing charges, storage fees and repossession fees.
I suggest that you find a buyer for the car and work out some payment to the lender where you make up the difference owed on the car. You need to advise any buyer that there is a lien on the car where you cannot give registered title to it.
