Description of the problem	I purchased a 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 2 years ago with 19,000 miles on odometer. I noticed roaring noise and attributed the noise to tires or fact it was 4x4. Soon truck began to shudder violently while braking. I made appointment to have the truck inspected at a reputable repair shop. The shop called and said that the wheel bearings on the front of truck had failed due to lack of grease and had to replaced along with rotors that were warped due to intense heat. Total bill was almost $800 which i paid. I contacted dodge and informed them of the situation. I also informed them that i felt that 2005 trucks should be included on recall list along with 2006 models with same problem. I was told there is no recall on 2005s and dodge was not responsible for repairs due to expired warranty. Wheel bearing failure is dangerous because entire wheels have been known to separate from vehicle and brake locking or complete failure can result from intense heat caused by the defective wheel bearings.
