I don't really understand this grammar. It says request, asking permission or invitation but most of the examples have neither.

The request/invitation/etc may be implied. (and I will adjust the entry to note this).

So, to use the first one:

お借りした車、調子悪いんですが. -> the request is that you want the car to be fixed, but since that can be inferred, it does not need to be stated.

Hope this helps!

To me, this feels like a "trailing though..." we sometimes put at the end of English clauses / sentences, to imply that there's more left unsaid, and what's left unsaid is typically a request or invitation.

聞きたいんですが => "I want to ask, though..."
お借りました車、調子悪いんですが => "The car I rented has a problem, though..."
ちょっとお願いがあるんですが => "I have a small favor to ask, though..."
銀行を探してるんですが、近くにありますか => "I'm looking for a bank, though... is there one nearby?"
少し、休みたいんですが => "I'd like a rest a little, though..."
