They drag in the mounts, so in that sense they're disconcertingly
un-smooth, and the vertical and horizontal interact a bit because of
it.  However if the motors are intermittent that's entirely
different.  If that's the case, spraying some contact cleaner into
the switch and exercising it a bit is probably your first step of choice.
