Probably just a DM messing with you, I know from personal experience.
Ever seen a golem just drop dead from massive internal injuries for no reason?
Led to some fun RP too
so the next time it goes wonky, wave a wrench threateningly at it and say you'll take it apart to see what's wrong if it doesn't straighten itself out.
You
are our resident mechanic in all matters Golem, so it should take the threat seriously.
