as the above post said, it is the rear shocks.
 
I couldn't figure it out at first because they looked fine. I jacked up the vehicle to inspect other problems. After about 15 minutes in the air, with the shocks fully extended, the left one started leaking oil. so that means the seal was blown.
 
I replaced both with Monroe replacements rather than the OEM. Fixed the problem and I hope the Monroes last longer.

I have a 2010 Mazda 5. Every time I drive this around I have the same issue. This was a day 1 issue. The vibration can be felt at all speeds.
 
The vibration can be felt all over the vehicle. I have taken this to my dealer several time, sometimes at 200 miles interval. Dealer does not see any issues except the real wheel alignment is out of the way.
 
I can not believe how can the alignment go out of the way with 200 miles of driving.
