While we were in Hungary recently, we had troubles with our rental
car. Our phrase books didn't have any phrases for that. Just for the
fun of it, would somebody please tell me the phrase for "My auto has
electrical problems." The guys that tried to help us with the car
were very hard-working, gracious, and tolerant of our language
difficulties. They didn't even charge us when they couldn't solve the
problem even though they had us over a barrel.

Anyway, just for the fun of it, I'd like to know what the phrase is...
For future reference the next time we visit, and to tweak my son's
superior knowledge of the language.
