Steering Tie Rod Assembly problems of the 2012 Ford F-250

When I'm driving down the road I in my 2012 F-250 I get death wobble, the front tires start shaking like crazy and the steering wheel and whole truck shakes like you can't imagine, it starts around 50mph and gets really bad about 60-65mph. I have replaced ball joints,tie rods, shocks, wheel bearings, steering stabilizer, u joints and track bar bushing, none of it fixed it. I can't figure out how to fix it. It about runs you off the road it's so bad sometimes and you have no control of steering wheel.

Vehicle mileage approximately 70,000. At speeds between 35-65 mph any minor bump will cause truck to begin to vibrate throughout the steering system and subsequently wobble violently. Applying the brakes makes it worse until the truck slows down below 35mph. The truck is not able to be steered during this event. I have taken it to several reputable mechanics and they have assured me this discrepancy is in many F-250s and no one has the complete solution. I contacted Ford motor company customer service and they have no interest or expectation of a recall. They did tell me to take it to a Ford dealership for repair. The local Ford dealership gave me a quote to replace- tie rods, tie rod ends, ball joints, drag link, and �steering components�. They said it was the second truck brought in this week. The would warranty the parts but not the problem and this would help eliminate which components were the culprit. So in effect I'd be paying to rebuild the front end and not necessarily fix the most dangerous experience in I've had in a vehicle. Nhtsa please do a recall on this vehicle and help hold Ford accountable.
