If you are the owner of the car, with the title in your name (and a bank as a lien holder), then you have the primary interest in the vehicle. A problem may arise, however, if this is a leased vehichle and a federal law enforcement agency has determined that the automobile was purchased by the dealer with the proceeds of illegal activity.

Otherwise, you should not be punished for the acts of a third party.
