Need help with car info [View all]

Me again. I've tried to Google this so as to not bother you guys, but my lack of knowledge is too total for that to work. I get an answer and... I don't know if it will work since I don't know if it's a minor enough part....

Ok, nutshell: I need something annoying but not vital to go wrong with MC's car so that she has to take it to a repair place (so it is removed from the premises). Something like it stalls at stop lights, is leaking oil, anything like that. It's drivable but needs to be fixed. It is an old (2014-ish) Honda Civic. I need something that would require the shop in this small town to order a part, meaning they would have it for four days or so. Any thoughts on a basic, but not always available, car part for some kind of minor issue? TIA
