I don't know. Are the payments delinquent? Has the insurance lapsed? Have you been arrested for a DUI? Were drugs found in the car? If yes to any of those questions, then he is just protecting himself. If you had agreed to pay him back for the down payment and you have not done so, then he using self help to collect the debt.

You are co owners so each of you has a right to the car. If you don't have use of the car, you should discuss with him that you will not make the payment.
