When purchasing a used car in Wisconsin, the lemon law as it's known does not apply. But there are legal requirements on disclosure of known defects and certain other matters. If the dealer knew of the defects but did not disclose them to you, you probably have claims for misrepresentation or even fraud. If the dealer made false representations about the quality of the car or status of any particular component that is defective, there may also be warranty type of claims. If the dealer financed the purchase, you may have a defense to the car loan too.
You should consider consulting with an attorney about the matter to better understand your legal rights and responsibilities. An attorney should only give you advice after fully understanding the circumstances.
