My vehicle started vibrating internally when I reach 70 miles per hour. If feels as though the seat has vibrator in it. Similar to the feel of a vibrating pager. This happens during acceleration. I do not feel anything at 60mph. When I reach 70 I can feel it the seat and gas pedal. The vibration continues unitl I reach 85mph. The dealership replaced the differential and has tried a number of things. They said that they would replace the rear end because the gears that they were getting would not help and would probably cause more vibration. They had a Ford engineer come in drive the vehicle. His responce the the vehicle was vibrating within acceptable limits. I asked what those limits were and he said that limit he determined when he drove the vehicle. I left the dealership on that comment.
