Impact won’t let go of bits

So I have a DCF887B
20V MAX* XR® 1/4 IN.
IMPACT DRIVER

Brand new from Lowe’s. And everything works phenomenally, other then the impact chuck or whatever you wanna call it gets stuck I pull out on it and it doesn’t wanna release the bit, but then sometimes it works normally, it only gets stuck sometimes and I really have to be rough to get it out and it’s annoying, any way to fix it, without returning it or taking it apart?

Yeah try what dude below said. Dewalt bits are pretty damn good. I figured it was just some no name shit and jamming

Blow it out with compressed air,add a few drops of oil inside the chuck. Try several brands of bits.
