I don't like either of them.

A is almost vague to the point that it could be interpreted as the driver having engine trouble and not the car.

B does it still have engine trouble? or was that before you test drove it?

maybe a hybrid along the lines of...

We test-drove a car that was having engine trouble?

I think that both could be right even though the second is preferable.

ill go with B because that is an essential modifier that adds info that is necessary to the sentence. Im not sure why A is wrong.
