Yeah I voted "no" but having subsequently spent several more hours in the car, I believe mine has this issue, 1100 miles but it's been doing it since it was new.
I noticed it on the test drive. Salesman says it has "been sitting" so I figure it's got a flat-spotted tire. I aired the tires up to 38 psi and drove a few hundred miles on an 85 degree day, it's not the tires.
About 50 - 55 mph the vibration starts coming on, and it tapers off by about 75, car is smooth as glass at 80.
Aside from that, the driver's side window catches on the trim when you open the door (intermittently, but it's getting worse with the cold weather) and there is some light rattle (throwout bearing?) from the clutch when you engage at a low RPM (like with the hill start assist.)
I am taking the car in Wednesday for all of this stuff. Hopefully they can fix the vibration, it's like a roaring sound almost, and even on the smoothest pavement I can find around here, it never goes away until 80 mph.
Love this car but these issues are a real buzz kill. Ford could stand to up their game on the QC end of things.
