yes my car is a 2018 with 12,000 miles and its been done several times and its still not level .One side is higher than the other .But lexus says its within specs .How can a car be within specs if its higher on one side than the other and you can see its lobsided .Lexus doesn't want to step up and honor the warranty and admit these cars have a problem

You seem to be very upset about your problem but you won't get your issue resolved by venting here, you're not even asking for any advice....
