I know this is a little late, but I just purchased a 2016 fusion and it does the same thing. So weird it makes me a little nervous but they swear there is nothing wrong with it

What brand/size of tires are you running? How much mileage on them? Tread depth?

Just got a 2015 Fusion.  I am an avid windows all rolled down in the 2 months of summer I get in Upper Michigan.  I found this problem and spent a couple days narrowing it down on accident with my dogs help.

 

The only time I can absolutely not replicate this is either with all windows up or if my dog is in the car. he is an ankle biter that has a strange habit of laying or standing on the rear seat back deck thing.  The harmonic and pressure vibrations I feel completely go away when he is in his favorite spot.

 

I laid out a small 5 or so pound plate across that rear deck and the problem is almost gone.  My next step is to try a small jack in the trunk to hold it tight in place, or some form of lateral support to keep it still.

 

Sorry I am late to the party but I just got the car, and found the problem once winter ended too weeks ago.

 

My theory, and I'm sticking to it.  If this helps someone out and the dealership really changed all those parts out, then the dealership scares me.

Resurrecting this old ass post, it's a 2013 fusion se 2.0 and the vibration(s) described in this thread are exactly what I am experiencing and it is driving me nuts, new tires (twice) , brakes, bearings, struts, axles, control arms, I have had this car about a year, bought it from a guy that had wrecked it and bent the rf suspension which is what a lot of this stuff was needed, vibration has been there for 30k miles and nothing has changed it. the car will as the best i can describe tremble at speeds starting at 64 pmh and up , steering doesn't shake at all it's a whole car feeling, can almost feel a slight bit of uneveness or wobble at lower speeds which increase intesity the faster you go, lost here, hoping someone has some insight, thanks in advance.
