It is more likely to be a broken flexible cable within the lens, a common problem. Over time the cable develops a crack in the conductor and whilst most of the time it makes a connection but at a certain zoom position the cable bends and the connection is lost. Usually but not always the camera will show an error code.

Unless you are experienced in lens repair there is nothing you can do yourself and a repair could be quite expensive, it may be better to buy a new lens.
