HT1766 Is anyone having crashes on IPad Air 128 gb?

Question

My ipad is crashing multiple times throughout the day.  There is no rhyme or reason (I.e. App, process, etc.).  I see the apple in middle and f then black screen unable to do anything for a while.

Answer 1

So here's an update:
1) I went to the Apple Store to have my iPad Air looked at because the "Genius" was certain I didn't follow all of the necessary steps to resolve the issue... and it couldn't possibly be a hardware failure [sarcasm intended] "Not if it starts back up", a direct quote. So upon arrival, I explained what was happening, repeated what steps I took to resolve any software-related issues, and presented them with 2 pages of crash logs.
2) Next, I was told they would be happy to replace my iPad, but unfortunately, they didn't have a 128GB version in stock. (Even though their own website showed the model as available AND I was told my iPad replacement would not be a refurbished model.) Then I was given the choice of having my replacement sent directly to the store (resulting in another Genius Bar appt. and return trip) or cancel today's service ticket and call Apple Care for an immediate replacement. I chose Option B.
3) So I returned home and called Apple Care and had to re-explain the entire incident because the operator didn't have access to the original support ticket. Finally I was told they did not offer "express return" in my area (even though the Apple Store is only 20 minutes away – strange) and the only way they would send a replacement would be if I sent my iPad in first. I would then receive a return label in about 2 days, take another 2-3 days for them to receive and verify my return, followed by another 2 days to receive my replacement. What part of "I use this every day and can't afford to wait a week for a replacement" was unclear. So after reiterating my point, I was told it would be faster to return to the Apple Store and have them order a replacement so I could continue using my "crashing" iPad until a "new" one was received. Yes, that meant yet another trip to the Apple Store.
4) Now, after making another appt. and returning to the Apple Store a 3rd time, guess what? They have to start all over. All this technology and nobody seems to know how to access and reactivate a previous support ticket. "So let me explain what's going on... again!" Finally I leave with my old iPad and I'm told my replacement should be available in 2-3 days (again, brand new ones sitting in stock) but I will need to make another Genius Bar appointment to pick up my replacement.
5) Finally, today I get called, the replacement iPad is in and guess what? It is indeed a refurbished model as apparent by the condition of the body. Unbelievable.
  So, in conclusion, I spent $800 for a brand-new iPad Air (kept in perfect condition), and 4 months into its 1-year warranty it up and dies and I get this kind of run-around from Apple? I’ve easily spent over 10K on Apple products in the past few years alone and this is how they treat a loyal customer? I’m sorry, but for a product under warranty and clearly not abused, they should have pulled a new one from stock and sent me on my way.
