Powershot SX60 HS image stabilization failing?

I have an SX60 HS and it has developed a problem:

1. When I zoom a scene the image in the viewscreen jumps up and down or side to side, and the resulting picture is blurred.

2. When I record video the scene tilts a few degrees left, then recovers, then tilts again. This shows in the viewfinder, and also in the recorded video.

The camera is a few years old, and I admit that it's seen some hard times -- high-humidity shooting on a Gulf Coast beach, which made the zoom continue "zooming" even after I stopped fingering the switch, and dusty, gritty miles along various trails.

The only thing I can think (having no expertise in electronics or troubleshooting) is that the image stabilization is failing somehow.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any fixes?

Thanks --

Don S.
