Take it back to the dealership immediately, for an evaluation. There should be some sort of reasonable warranty. You need to read your documents from the dealer. If you purchased this from a private owner, you purchased it "as is", unless you can prove that the seller knew of a problem and intentionally defrauded you. Your question points out the reason why used car purchasers should make their contract subject to an evaluation of the vehicle by a licensed mechanic of the buyer's choice, BEFORE money changes hands.
