Hi,

Hopefully I can help you with an easy solution: it might be that you have some dust in front of the AF sensor on your camera body.

Put the camera in sensor cleaning mode and use a blower to clean the AF sensors in the bottom of the mirror chamber. Then test again.

If you are lucky it was dust and AF will be consistent again. Now let's hope it is consistently spot on as well

It appears that the OP is having a problem with just this lens. This sort of rules out the AF sensor. You may be right, though. It's worth blowing out the mirror box, just to be sure.
