T4K3R5 tells us more.
Okay im just going to say this now so everyone will get this. I have my OWN bank account that no one has access too accept me. I opened it when i was like 16 and got my first job. I saved the $4000 in a separate account that was in my moms name before i was 16, which i got just from mowing lawns and stuff. So Everyone stop saying "Well your dumb, that's your fault for letting your mom have access to your account". Also im not going to get into details, but it wasn't really my sisters fault, so i don't blame her. My sister and my mom have helped me out with a lot of things too.

It just sounds somewhat unrealistic to say 'Today my sister got her car repo'd, my mom took out 4k, my mom lost her job' I guess the bank holding the loan doesn't accept fund transfers from other banks.
I can't help but wonder with all of these "My family took my money" stories - how can your family take your money? Isn't the account in your name?
YDI. Why the **** would you let anyone other than yourself be mandated to sign on your account? Moron.
OMG was she on that show operation repo were the repossess cars?? I LOVE that show
You should make her pay it if u need the money, otherwise leave it alone.
why does she have access to your account?? unless you're underage than I'm assuming it was her money anyways to begin with, still sucks but it is family and not like she hasn't done anything for you
sounds like your whole family is slackers.
Way to teach financial responsibility...Your sister is an irresponsible jackass and your mother is a **** for bailing her out at your expense!!!!
Well you've got to take some sacrifices to help your family... If you weren't prepared to do that they shouldn't have access to your bank account...

Always get it in writing.
dude, it is not his responsibility to pay for his sister's car. and it's awful that his mother took out his HARD EARNED money for the sister. sounds like OP didn't even get much of a say. that he had savings doesn't mean that he had "money to spare". what if he was saving for his own car?
