Under the right condition and the right tire you can flat spot it just sitting a few days.
Usually once you drive it for awhile it will round itself out again and the vibration will be gone...of that's what's causing it.

Road Force balancing is the best way to go.
great! I hope that's all it is. The brakes where acting funky to because of buildup but worked itself out.

I agree with what other have said - The tires could have flat spots so just drive them for a while to get them warm. It is possible that the balancing could be off too but start with the easy stuff...

1. Check for no flat spot
2. Have the tires forced balanced
3. Escalate if the issue continues.

I took possession of my 2017 IS and eh alignment was way off, not sure how it passed the PDI and MVI but luckily for me, I got it fixed within a couple of days to prevent tire damage but it happens that brand new cars needs some TLC
