Problems with interior finish and overall heating

I bought this oven about 2 and a half years ago and have had concerns about the calibration from the beginning. The Convection works well enough if limiting baking trays to 2 shelves. The upper oven never gets up to temp for regular bake, and I need to always adjust by increasing the temp 5 to 7 degrees higher or bake longer. The lower oven appears to get up to temp, but does not maintain the temperature, I need to constantly restart to get the oven to maintain the appropriate bake temperature. Over the 2 years, I have cleaned each of the 2 ovens no more than 3 times simply because my husband and I are alone and cook and reheat in a small convention oven most of the time. I do use the ovens for baking and roasting. Baking fruit pies can boil over. I have tried to clean up any boil over before using the self-cleaning (As suggested with soapy water and soft cloth), but still have noticed discoloration in the oven surface after running the cleaning cycle. Most recently, I was baking a pie that boiled over and tried to clean up the liquid. Unfortunately, my husband who wanted to help used a stainless steel spatula to remove the sugar syrup and that appeared to react the same with the surface as if contacted with aluminum foil. We contacted the dealer and were prepared to pay for repairing the 2 year old oven but were told that it could not be repaired. My husband contacted the Frigidaire company and they were willing to provide a 40% credit to a newly purchased oven set. Unfortunately, we were not even provided with a week to make the purchase with the date noted in the e_mailed rebate. After less than 3 years of use, we will need to replace the ovens at our own expense. We will not be purchasing another Frigidaire appliance in the future.
