That isn't even close to right. Your concerns are well founded, that isn't normal behavior and should be returned for repairs/examinations. Don't accept for one second that there isn't a problem, don't let them give it back to you until it has been repaired. Keep any and all paperwork you can, you may (unfortunately) have a lemon.
