Good summary. Here’s the articles key takeaways for issues remaining in the EcoBoost 2.0-liter Twin Scroll:
solved a lot (but not all) of the coolant intrusion issues common in the first-gen 2.0-liter engine.
is known for its boost solenoid prematurely failing, resulting in a malfunctioning turbocharger, a check engine light, and a significant lack of power. Fortunately, it's a relatively easy — and inexpensive — DIY fix for you shade tree mechanics out there

The 2.3 is sucha a "mini-monster". I hemmed and hawed over a base Bronco with a 2.3 for a while before deciding I couldn't swing that much extra on a vehicle. But it delivers so much power, for such a small engine. I thought the 2.0 would be a bit similar in that regard, due to the good work it did on the Focus. But duh gator....on a small Focus....it 'performs'...but on a bulker, heavier BS .... its not going to be as zippy.
However, with as many issues as the V6 has dealth with... I'd have thought the 2.0 would be a head of it. Not sure how much 'power' and 'performance' came into play in the equation rather than just being an ultra reliable engine.
But a cool list regardless! Cheers!

Thanks for the link but many people say the 2.7 Eco Boost has had less problems than the 3.5 Eco Boost engines.
Except perhaps for a bunch of engines with bad valves. That has a lot of owners concerned bou their cars.

True but have you seen how many issues people have had with Cam Phaser problems on the 3.5 Eco Boost?Far more than the Valve Problems on the 2.7 Eco Boost.
