Nikon 17-35mm AF-S: AF stutters

->> My 17-35 sometimes freaks out, stutters like mad, and can't lock on. Happens with both bodies. Yes, I am sending it to Nikon. I just wonder a) if any of you have had problems with AF-S motors failing like this, and b) this motor was replaced about a year ago... is it common for these to fail after only one year?!
Cheers.
Tom

->> Sounds like the motor is shot. I had this happen when I got my lens ( a good friend gave it to me). It should not have failed within a year though. Hope it works out Tom!
