I switched to a different lens and could zoom all the way from one end ot the other and it never had the problem. I put the 18-55 lens back on and had the problem again.

Agree with Ray' that most likely the lens is going bad. You could try cleaning the electronic contacts on the lens (and body), but be prepared to buy a new lens. This is actually a positive move in the long run IMHO because the current 18-55 STM lenses are much better than the older ones. And can be found for about $100.

Good luck to you!
