My neighbour had one. Even though it had only done 52k miles, full service history and had new wet belt, the engine seized. This was because of the rubber particles from the belt blocking oil passages.
To be clear, the 2.0 Ecoboost gen 1 engines are OK, it's the gen 2 2.0 and the 1.5s, people seem to group them all together incorrectly.
