The oven is less than 5 years old; I purchased and had it installed. It's natural gas, convection. However, I used the bake mode for this test, no convection.

Do you have access to the burner tube? It looks something like these and will either be above the broiler drawer or under an access panel. If you have a broiler there will be another burner tube.
Inspect it for corrosion, if bad... replace. if good then fire it up and look for blocked holes or uneven flames. clean as needed.

You can't see the burners in my oven, they're hidden beneath the floor of the oven. Regardless, and I'm not trying to be obtuse, why would that even be a consideration? The oven comes to temp without a problem. I'm using a calibrated thermometer air probe from Thermoworks. The oven comes to temp and is well within acceptable range of oscillation. The average temp is only 7 degrees above where it's programmed.

I cook all over the oven, but I generally follow recommended placements. For the test, I got the probe as close to the center of the oven as possible.

After doing those steps my I would make the first call to the manufacturer as they have probably already been there and done that and already own the tee shirt too.
Hope this gets you started in the right direction. FWIW I personally dislike gas ovens unless of course it a Viking or something nice. Give me a gas cook top and an electric convection oven anyday!

We wanted a dual fuel - gas top, electric oven, but unless you're spending $5,000+, those didn't get great user reviews. I did prefer my electric oven, though.
