2015 XPS13 track pad behaving erratic, unpredictable

I bought this XPS13 lap top in Feb 2015, I love it except for the track pad. 90% of the time I use the trackpad it randomly selects things, or doesn't respond to clicks. IT also jumps around the screen, engages unwanted hotkey commands. I use this for writing software, I go to select a single line of code and I get some unwanted result like the scaling of the type size or even deleting what I select. This thing has a mind of it's own. I resigned my self to using a mouse but I really want to resolve this issue, its a brand new laptop.
