Unfortunately it sounds like you have the same issues as MANY others.  Worked great then 1.5 added vibration and the toilet bowl effect.

There is a warranty but refunds are only in the first week if you bought it from DJI.com
Since you were in P-GPS mode it should not have drifted unless it lost satellites. Also, I wouldn't be doing IMU calibrations before each flight, you only need to do it when prompted or updating firmware. Make sure it's on a perfectly level surface before the IMU calibration and a IMU calibration will give you faster startup and the "IMU Warming Up" won't be so long.
As far as the vibrations from 1.5, DJI is working on that and it's only on some of the older Phantoms with the older motors and ESC's Some have fixed it by multiple upgrade/downgrades, IMU, compass,gimbal calibrations, and lowering gains.
We can see exactly what happened during that flight if you can upload the DAT file to Dropbox and I will have the data analyzed.
We want you to have a great experience with your DJI product and not have issues.

Sounds good, at least it will tell us why it started drifting.

Did you ever upload your flight record to HealthyDrones? It sounds a lot like there were strong winds at that altitude that the aircraft could not cope with, hence it began to drift away.
