First of all, anything is possible. If you are not comfortable with the place that presently has your vehicle you might continue asking around and hopefully someone close by may be able to give you an accurate answer. Then you might have the vehicle towed there.
If you feel there is something going on there, best to get the vehicle out of there. There are pressure tests that can help narrow down the problem. Good shops with good technicians are hard to find these days and maybe someone can recommend a good shop to you.
Just a thought,,,,,,,,,could the transfer case be in between gears ? Some have a neutral position.
