Looks like your lens is faulty. Your best bet would be to sell the
lens. Since you have sent it in to Canon 4 times, you can try
pressurising them to replace the lens with a new one. 

I have had a similar problem with my old Canon 100/2.8 (non-USM) macro
lens. It died 3 times within 6 months of purchase. Canon refused to
replace the lens. I wrote a strong complaint to Canon Japan, and the
boss at the local headquarters. They promptly extended my warranty to
2 years. One of the big bosses at the local HQ quickly called me and
apologized - they also reassured me that even after the warranty
expires, repairs (if any) would be free of charge.

I must say I'm really impressed with Canon's attitude to customers
(albeit after some pressure :)
