Transfer Case Problems of GMC Canyon

1) <powertrain> I have 40k on my Canyon and am experiencing acceleration issues 0-40mph 1-3rd shift points (automatic transmission). The transmission acts like it cannot decide to either say in 2nd or shift to 3rd and there's a lag or surging affect when this happens. I had the transmission fluid and transfer case fluids changed ar the gm dealership. Problem still persists. 2) <other> key gets stuck in the ignition. When placing the truck in park there's an internal relay/switch within the shifter that is supposed to activate a relay/unlock signal to the key tumbler in the steering column. This doesn't always happen and the key won't turn to the off position to allow it to be released. I have to turn the key to the acc position put the truck in drive then back into park to get the relay/switch to dis-engage the key position from being locked in acc.

While driving with vehicle in four wheel auto the transfer case engaged in to 4 wheel high and would not disengage. This would be more of great safety concern in the event that a driver is not able to pull over and stop. The vehicle would not disengage the four wheel drive and required to be towed to dealership. The work performed to correct this issue indicated there was an excessive amount of corrosion in the the connectors related to the "range selector" and other related components. This appeared to fix the issue, however the issue has resurfaced over time and again seems related to corrosion. In more recent occurrences the vehicle engaged into four wheel drive while driving and it was not set in four wheel auto. This is extremely concering as I stoped using four wheel auto because of this past event. Again this engagement of the four wheel drive when the driver is not able to respond accordingly could lead to injury.
