What to do if my daughter was at her father’s during winter break, while she was sleeping my e- husband’s son stole her car and totaled it while drunk?
He was arrested for DUI. Is her father responsible for replacing her car? Can I sue him? Her car only had PLPD insurance on it.

Based upon what you have written about your daughter's grievance for a lawsuit lies with the son of the ex-husband and not the husband himself. Your daughter should contact the district attorney's office handling the DUI matter and ask for restitution as part of the criminal proceeding to reimburse her for the fair market value of her car.
