A renter experienced a brake failure while driving a rental truck and had to use the emergency brake to stop; the first roadside inspection wrongly cleared the vehicle as safe despite the fault, requiring a second, more thorough inspection to confirm a transmission issue. This points to a gap in rental-fleet vehicle safety verification during active rentals.
