Unhappy Rear Metal to Metal Rattle on '05 RL

Has anyone experienced this problem:
Driving over a rough road (not a completely smooth road--an asphalt road that has been patched) with windows down, you hear a metal rattling sound coming from the rear. My car sounds like a milk truck. If I apply my brakes, the sound does NOT go away. If I slightly apply my PARKING BRAKE, not even the first notch (I know, not smart, but we're talking 5 MPH or less here), the sound goes away completely. As parking brakes are self-adjusting, I can't do much with that.

I've been to the dealer many times. They're aware of the problem-- seemingly from other owners--but, as of yet, there is no fix. I've had the front pads replaced the third time, the squeaking and rattling from the front is gone. If anyone out there has experienced this problem, please advise. If anyone knows of a fix or a TSB, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need help with my RattLe!
