incorrect. My pedal has a rattle in it too. Has nothing to do with fluid level. No air in the system. It's a poorly positioned stop from the factory. Nothing more, nothing less.

You can however adhere a rubber bumper to the stop that will reduce the rattle.

ooo, then all you need is a properly mounted bump stop to catch the top of the brake pedal arm right where it starts to come up too far, easy fix, just gorilla glue it under the steering column!

This rattle drove me nuts, I thought something was loose under the front end. Here's an easy fix for 6 speed drivers. Put a rubber band around it and the clutch peddle. No more rattle!

So far my temporary fix has been to lift up on the bottom of the brake pedal while driving over bumps. While this does successfully completely prevent the rattle/shaking from occurring, I really don't care for driving with my foot UNDER the brake peddle. I have been dreaming about installing some type of heavy duty spring which would pull up on the pedal and hold tension on it.

I do plan on crawling under there in attempt to try to decipher why this is happening, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Anyone else have/had this issue and came up with a good fix?
***I googled this issue half-embarrassed that I was losing my mind! Love this forum!
