This is a contractual matter: review the terms of the contract/agreement of sale and of the financing agreement. If those agreement(s) allow the car to be taken under the circumstances that exist, they can take it; otherwise not. You need to compare what you have (how you have honored your obligations) to what the agreement(s) you signed require.
