Default Front hub assembly

I have 4500 miles on my 17 GT and the front driver side hub assembly is already going bad. Bearings need to be replaced. It's under warranty, but has anyone else experienced this issue with either the front or rear hub assemblies? I looked into the Ford Performance assemblies with ARP studs and the price doesn't seem bad. I can't find any review on them. Has anyone used them?

It's a crap shoot. I had a 2013 Jetta TDI, and went 240,000+ miles without
changing anything, but brakes, rotors, and oil.

Then, I get a 2015 TSI, the wheel bearings started to go at 53,000 miles. I told
the dealer, it was under warranty. THEY said it was a tire (LF), cup worn, I said okay,
that still means something is wrong, and I have a warranty. they IGNORED me.
120,000 miles it got so bad, I had to replace them, and BOTH were bad. One
made noise spinning it, no play, the other had play, no noise... I hate Hillcrest
Volkswagen...

Just got the car back from the shop. Front driver side hub was bad but Ford replaced it under warranty. If it happens again I may end up replacing with Ford Performance all the way around. I would have been happy if it lasted 53K. I agree with you. A crap shoot it is. Thanks for the reply.
