Default Front end #vibration / #axle issues

I have a 2017 with 66k miles. Currently at the dealer getting both front axle assemblies replaced. There was a noticeable vibration when the steering wheel is fully turned and accelerating from a stop. Dealer found imbalance in one axle and excessive play in the other. At 45k miles the left side was replaced due to another vibration issue which caused the whole dash to shake at highway speed. Bought it L certified with a spotless car fax so I’ve been a bit perturbed and doesn’t give me a warm n fuzzy for longevity. Thankfully all covered under warranty so far. Anybody else have a similar experience? What would you guys do??

If the boots weren't torn maybe the CV joints did not have enough grease when assembled new, leading then to wear out over time. Only thing I can think of.
