Ask Smithy Xtra Transmission issue with Mazda 6
Sounds like you need to have a transmission specialist take a closer look at it. For starters, the transmission fluid doesn’t simply disappear without reason, there has to be a problem. I would have the auto serviced and the fluid changed.

Mazda 6 MPS brakes wearing thin
Brake wear is something all new car buyers need to be aware of, and perhaps something they should quiz dealers about before they commit to a car. That way they won't be surprised when they get a hefty bill for replacing discs and pads sometime later on.

Brand new Bridgestone already flat
It sounds like there was a manufacturing fault with the tyre in question and as such it should be covered by a warranty, either by the seller or the tyre manufacturer. Return to Bob Jane T mart with your receipt for the tyres and ask them to replace the tyre at no cost, and if that doesn't produce the result you want, contact Bridgestone direct and seek their help.
