You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney about the specific facts of your situation to get the most accurate advice. Putting the car in your parents' name at any time close to filing your bankruptcy may raise a red flag. It will look like a preferential transfer which the trustee can reverse. It looks like an attempt to hide assets. Instead, depending on how much you owe on the car, its value, and the rest of your assets, the car may be exempted from your bankruptcy estate. In other words, it may be property which is not considered available for use to settle your debts and you won't have to worry about losing it. Again, the best way to determine how this should play out is to consult a bankruptcy attorney.

If you are sued in a civil court for a debt you need to file an answer or else a default judgment will occur. You are not arrested or jailed for failure to file an answer or appear in lieu of an answer. Once there is a judgment, however, the judge may order you to appear for an examination of your assets. That type of court order can result in a warrant for your arrest in you fail to appear. Consult a local attorney for advice in this matter. This is applicable to California law. Illinois law may differ.
