This happened to me two months ago with my kit lens...they had to replace the focusing motor...blame it on the flimsy build quality of this particular lens.

After this experience I am thinking of looking for a secondhand lumix 14-42 - bulkier but I would wager with more solid build. The collapsing design is helpful for stowage, but about the same size as a prime lens, and is negated the moment you start taking pictures.
