Answer:

The author used an understatement.

Explanation:

When Reyna says she is having a little car trouble, the literary device is an "understatement". An understatement means she is not telling things the way they really are. She is softening their state, sugarcoating the reality. Another example of an understatement would be a person who has lost all their money telling a friend they don't have enough money to go out for dinner.
