Brakes and Putting into Gear
Has anyone had a problem with the rear brake pad unseating itself and rubbing on the hub? I have one that is ok for a week or so, then turns in the caliper and rubs on the hub. What did you do to fix it?
Also having a problem with it not wanting to shift out of park. I've tried researching it online (I do not have a manual) and haven't found anything. Is there a brake safety switch in the brake pedal to keep it from shifting if the brake pedal is not depressed, that could be going bad?
Any help is appreciated!

It's normal for the pads to remain in slight contact with the rotor.

You may have some transmission linkage binding up due to misalignment, loose bolts, or possibly even corrosion.
You can find the manual here.

You're welcome. When you press down on the brake pedal does the pad still move around?

Caliper casting is worn. The pads sit on two small ledges (front and back of inner caliper) and when they wear (square edges become round) the pad can tilt. Check the pin through the pads too.
Check your rear brake lights, see if they come on. If not you won't ever move the shifter out of Park. Find out why the lights are not coming on. The lever is being held in Park by a Shift Interlock Solenoid and it's a safety device.......
The Service Manual was the only good info Borat gave while increasing his post count and not experience level.

Wow, what's your problem? I don't claim to know everything, just giving the op some ideas and things to look for. Perhaps you are taking these forums a little to seriously if you think I'm just here to "increase my post count". For your information, I have plenty of experience and have no problem keeping all of my vehicles running on my own. I have yet to see brake pads rotate in a caliper so I'm guessing it's a poor design; much like your attitude sir.

If it's the brake switch, they are combined and yes, you can get them at NAPA, probably other parts stores as well.
I believe it's AC Delco PN E892A.
Advance Auto has the Intermotor brand, SL72001, for $20.
If it's the switch it's above the pedal arm. If it's the solenoid, it's on the transmission.
X2 two on the worn caliper.
I've done temporary fixes by welding a bit more metal on the edge of the plate the pad is mounted to then shaping it with a grinder. But that was temporary to get on the road. I replaced the calipers at the next brake job.
ah, here's a post that will tell you how to verify if it's the switch or the solenoid.
