Vehicle deficiencies get eliminated in bankruptcy. They're often a major cause of insolvency. Blame it all on the car commercials... dramatic displays of professional racing on cleared-out roads, car bodies all reflective chrome and showroom shine, and the luxury-make's smug voiceover... they're the bane of the consumer-driver.

Yes. This is now an unsecured debt (just like a credit card) and will be discharged in a bankruptcy under either Chapter 7 or 13.

Unless you want to go to prison for perjury, you have to. All your debts and all your assets must be listed. Discuss this with your attorney and don't attempt this pro se.
