Speaking to US laws, auto manufacturers are required to fix design bugs that cause safety issues regardless of warranty or used status, at no cost to the owner. You may be familiar with the standard name for those fixes, "recalls". It's illegal to sell a vehicle with unresolved recalls, though the government deliberately avoids enforcing that as aggressively as they could.

It's a very different system from software's "NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND".
