Default loose shifter please help

Hi guys,

I just bought a new 2011 mazdaspeed 3, it has about 1000 miles on it and last night the shifter came loose. It has all sorts of play and does not locate correctly. I was wondering if this is a common issue or if this has happened to people and what they have done? the shifter can move maybe 6 inches in all directions and rotate, any thoughts?
