I had the same problem as Pathguy where the AF motor suddenly failed, except mine failed 4 months after the warranty expired. :( I sent it to Precision which was a Sony authorized repair center (from the Sony website) and they charged me 850 for the motor repair. The lens now has trouble focusing in low light, which it didn't before Precision forgot to send me back the black and white filter that was attached to the lens.
