Before taking the camera in for repair, I would first test under controlled conditions. If you're using the multipoint autofocus a lot of different things can throw it off, particularly monochromatic scenes. Center point is good so long as you have somthing contrasty to point at. Test with some medium and high contrast targets. And with Pentax lenses. You have to confirm that it's the camera and not the lens.
