I would recommend replacement of the roof.
All of the manufacturers have nailing instructions. The instructions on that roof were not followed. In some places, like here in South Florida, there has to be six nails in the appropriate area. If the person who nailed the shingles in did the entire roof, I suspect that there is more improper work under the shingles.

Added with edit: I just saw that the roof was 3 days old. Here are a few more that were days or weeks old:

I still get paid to be suspicious when I got nothing to be suspicious about!
