My new M1 based iMac - can't load new Contacts called Apple and got no fix

I attempted to create a new contact in Contacts. After entering the first and last name, the app closed the new entry window. This occurred three times. I quit the Contacts app, and launched it again. I tried again to create a new contact and the same issue happened. It just lists new contact. I rebooted but the issue persists. I attempted to run Disk Utility First Aid and that did nothing. Called Apple and they had me restart with SHIFT down, that didn't work either. Went to Recovery and reloaded the OS X MONTEREY and it still has the problem. It is not a Gmail account.

What is going on with the new M1 chips? I've had other issues with Finder becoming unresponsive, and things not working right? Hardware issue?. About to bring this back to Apple and ask for a new one.
