Basically wanted to see if there are 2013 & 2014 Model S's that had no issues with their LDU's going bad.

The results of your poll are a double negative, lol. Same as asking "Has your original Drive Unit (DU), large or otherwise, had any issues?"
11/13 built RWD S85 started getting developing a "whirring" sound between 20mph-40mph with 70K miles on the car. Got a bunch of warnings around 90K miles which included the following:
Car may not restart. Take car to Service
Systems performance check
Low coolant
Regenerative braking disabled. Top speed and acceleration reduced
I called Tesla Roadside and they told me to drive the car to nearest Tesla Service Center before turning the car off (save myself a tow if the car doesn't restart). Got to the Service Center and it did not restart. Tesla replaced the drive unit, HV battery contactors, pyro fuse, HVAC drain hose, 12V battery, and did a wheel alignment. I have 27K miles on the replacement drive unit and it's been relatively silent.

This was my thinking as well, when I posted this poll. I, kind of knew the results wouldn't necessary be accurate of MS LDU's reliability.
