If he signed the title to you, you need to file an action to recover the vehicle. Do not resort to "self help" by taking the car forcefully from him. If there is a lien, the lien holder can reposess the car unless the payments are made. Hire an attorney if the car is worth more than $1000. If not, try small claims court. You can't be worse off than you already are.
