Your motors may be overheating. Also, if you have not already, add a fan or two to cool your stepper drivers.
If my guess is right, there are quite a few different fan mounting options on Thingiverse

If you still have issues, it might be time for linear ball bearings and/or direct-drive y mod. smile

I've tried abs and pla and both tend to have the same problem. Bed is leveled and extrusion rate is correct. Could this be the y motor going out missing a step?
