Answer: Understatement

An understatement is a form of speech that expresses an idea with lesser strength than what would be expected. This type of speech is usually used for emphasis or irony. In this case, the speaker is clearly having serious problems with her car. Therefore, the fact that she refers to this as "a little car trouble" is an understatement.
