I would run through a few things to check, but I must say, your daughter will have enough to worry about in college without constantly dealing with a broken Hyundai- these are not the most reliable cars in the world- take it to a mechanic and then get rid of it- find a Toyota with low miles that was owned by a little old lady- you did not put enough thought into this decision, but deal with it now, before school starts, and get your ducks in a row- it will save you a LOT of time and money down the road-
