First off there are probably more 13s without issues than with. Didn't want to scare people and not slamming the 13s but there is certainly some circumstantial evidence that the 13s have had more issues with engines and trannys. The TSBs tell much of the story themselves since there are 10 for 13s, 2 for 14s (both for the same issue really) and only 1 for 15s. Now some of the TSBs certainly apply to all the model years (crickets) but most apply to 13s up to April 2013 so for the sake of this discussion let's call that the "early" 13s. The vast majority of the blown engines listed here have been on 13s but that doesn't mean there is a problem with all of them.
And in reality a well kept 13 with all the TSBs completed could still be better than a 15 that has been beat to crap so any used car is really a gamble anyway. I wouldn't worry a whole lot as my previous comment may appear stronger than I intended.
