Description of the problem	At 37,000 miles i lost control of my 2005 dodge ram 1500 truck and went off the road. I could not readily explain the reason but i assumed i had dropped off onto a low shoulder. After getting the body repaired i was told that the tie rods on my 2005 dodge truck were "severely" warn and needed to be replaced. It was a condition that was not noticed by the dealers at the 30k or 34k service. There is a service notice on a improperly tightened nut but i am not sure if it is related. Steering is a safety system on a car. The change to permanently lubricated linkages is creating premature wear resulting in unexpected unsafe situations. Dodge should be required to cover steering in their warranty and extended warranty and/or return to a serviceable party. I believe these tie rods are inappropriately designed for this application and pose a serious safety risk to the occupants.
