When checking the potentiometer voltage, its this lower voltage range that must be smooth and linear. A glitch at 2V isn't going to cause this problem, but if it goes open somewhere around .5V-1V you've found your smoking gun
That sounds really likely, any idea if it would happen in cool/cold weather only?
