If I am carrying an auto loan for my ex-wife and I am looking to get out of it what can I do?

I am the only one on the loan. However, she is listed on the registration. Everything was good for a year after the divorce. After that she is habitually late on payments and has not paid insurance for three months. So, I have been covering that cost to save my credit. She has completely closed communication for the last 3 months. Can I repo the vehicle and sell it with her name on the registration? I just want out of the loan with out ruining my credit. What can I do?
