JTsMom - Sorry you are going through this. It's discouraging when you buy a new home because you expect that since it's new there will not be problems to fix. We bought new construction 5 years ago and had a lot of problems too. My advice is to make sure you contact the builder immediately when problems occur. The floor in my son's bedroom (2nd floor) is buckling up. It was like that for about a year and we kept putting off sending in a warranty repair request and then our builder filed bankruptcy and now we have to fix it ourselves.
