Your PS3 controller might just need a little TLC! Try resetting it by pressing the small reset button on the back with a paperclip. If that doesn't work, open it up and clean the contact points with isopropyl alcohol.

Honestly, if it's acting up, just get a new controller. They're not that expensive and save you the hassle.
