    When I take my foot off the brake pedal quickly, like after a stoplight has turned green, the brake pedal makes a “clump!” sound. I have looked at the pedal mechanism and it is for sure coming from that area. It sounds as if a rubber bumper should be there, but is not. When I take my foot off more slowly, no sound comes from the area. Do you guys get that sound too? Or is this something I need to put on my 5K checkup list? My car has 1700 miles on it now. Thanks!

    The mother of my high school girlfriend didn't like it when I did that in her car, a 67 Ford. I think any car will do that if you slip your foot to the side and let the pedal come up fast.

    I see no problem, unless the pedal falls off from all the abuse...
