It depends on the severity of the accident. If it's something that can reasonably be assumed to not cause future problems, there is no obligation. On the other hand, you are justified in being suspicious of that dealership. Your only real option is to tell everyone you know about the car and what happened. Let them decide if they want to do business with that dealership. There are lemon laws, check your state. However, if the car runs fine when you took it for a test drive and you did not do your homework, then you are responsible for the repairs. 2 things you should have done before purchasing a car, request a carfax from the dealership (free) and take it to a private mechanic (not one they have recommended) to look it over (around $25-$50). Dealerships don't do their homework on cars they are selling. They just sell the car and expect the buyer to do the homework. * The buyer can consult the "lemon laws" for their state at, http://www.lemoncar.com

Who is responsible the driver or owner if the accident takes place?

It will always come back to the driver. Even if you borrowed the car off someone, and there was a problem with the car, it is the drivers responsability to check the vehicle before driving it.
