2012 3.7 with 14000 on it. I had to have it towed to dealer to have the computer re-programed. Car would not start. All lights and accessories worked but car would not even try to start. it did this several times before, but eventually it would start. the 3rd time was the kicker. no problems since.
I did some research on this issue and it seems to be with the v6 and the v8 cars.
I was surprised at how many people had this problem.

2013 with 39,000 miles on it already. No real problems. I did have a vibration and they found a transmission issue was causing some of it so warranty rebuild on that. The next week had a vibration again that we were able to track to a tire issue, and replaced that tire to get rid of the vibration.

Really "many people"? First time I've heard of anything like this on here.
Sounds more like a loose electrical connection somewhere, rather than a failure in the computer.

I have a 2014 Manual base with 4,100 miles on the clock. No issues with the engine, but I am one of the few to have had an MT-82 catastrophically fail. It let go at 2,900 miles, rebuilt under warrantee, and now it feels great(before the rebuild 1, 2, and 3 never quite felt like 4, 5 , and 6). Still, this is a very reliable and fun car to own.

I just picked up a used 11 Convertible with 42k on the odometer and after owning a 2012 V6 I had no qualms about buying this car, the price helped a lot too ($14900)
Winter, end of the month and a convertible prices are way too good to pass up.
