If it is still under warranty, you might want to send it in to Canon. Otherwise, it might retirement time for it as the repair will probably exceed the cost of the lens.
Somewhere on the web, someone dismantled their non-working 28-105 (Mark I) and found that the mechanisms were very poorly built and that this contributed to the lens' early demise (anyone jump in and let us know where this site is). These 28-105 are not built to "pro" standards so continual use and abuse will cause them to break. IIRC, a critical part of the lens relied on a plastic rivet/pin which can shear off. Perhaps your lens is at the beginning stages of this shearing off. The Mark II version might have solved this issue - (anyone correct me if I'm in error for believing this). If Canon is listening, I for one would like a pro version of the 28-105 - perhaps it could have a good seal against dust and the elements, a fixed f3.5 (f2.8 would be nicer of course) and a harder wearing body and lens extension mechanisms.
