The only thing to be really worried about is the cam timing sensor issue on early cars. The TSB is 11-130-13R. The issue affected all cars until it was fixed April 2013. Any cars built AFTER April 2013 should not be affected by this.

Don't be afraid to get a car within that time range but just make sure that it has already been in for that TSB. Ask to see the service record showing that it has. The dealerships won't do anything about an affected car that doesn't have the related CEL and the 5 year drive train warranty is running out on 2013 cars this year and if it crops up after that, you'll be on the hook to get it fixed so I'm sure you'd rather make sure the problem has already been addressed in whatever car you get.
