well since you just brought it it will be under a warranty take it back and tell them to fix it under that warranty. Thats if you brought it from a dealer

I know someone who had exactly the same thing with a 2005 XR6 and it was a loose battery terminal. It was the only problem they had with that car in almost 200,000 kms of ownership.
