I have a new Cab with less than 200 miles on it. It has several intermittent issues including:
At a stop, or when coasting to a stop, the car shuts off. This is not the auto-off feature. It literally dies. Sometimes it realizes it and tries to re-start automatically. Other times I have to start it with the key. I originally thought it was when the car was cold during low temp (air temp in the high 40's or low 50's) but sometimes it does and and sometimes it does not.
The front truck will not open now. It did open the one time I tried it; it now makes the lock/unlock sound but never pops up. I have tried both the key and the switch on the driver side floor.
I traded a 12 991S for this one; my last one did not do any of these things. Any ideas before I take it in for service (groan...).
Thanks in advance!

I agree with John - this is not for you to figure out. Take it to your dealer for correction. In addition, it will document the issues in the database in the event it turns into a recurring problem.

I own a 2012 Cab and have none of these issues. I would have them checked ASAP.

Yikes, I have a 2013 C2S Cab with around 3k miles now and have had no real problems yet (just some minor panel rattle). I would get that car back to the dealer and make them figure out what's going sooner rather than later.

My 2013 hasn't had any issues. I was checking out a new Cayman at a local dealership and it had the same problem with the front latch. I tried to open it and nothing would happen.
Good luck. Please let us know what the dealership says.

My front hood was stuck as well -- already at delivery. AFAIR it was too tight, the mechanic got it open somehow, adjusted the rubber spacer bolts and it does work fine since then.
