This is why I would never buy an SDM lens unless new, with a two year guarantee.
I've read a lot of comments to the effect that the motors have to be moved once in a while. Even if you don't use the lens for photography, every week or two you should mount it, move the focus ring and engage the AF a few times. It can also help to manually move the focusing ring every time before use, to make sure it's not stuck.
That's all from the many (many) comments I've read during my four-or-so years as a Pentax user.
Best of luck with the repair. I'm sure a few people will have already done it and will be able to say how much it costs and where it can be done.
