This isn't my car, but I was following one yesterday and this thing was smoking like Baghdad oil field. What would cause a new(er) car like that to go bad so quick?

This.. which is entirely disappointing, and hopefully a special case. I was hopeful that the EcoBoost turbos would prove to be more reliable. I know far too many people whose only experience with turbocharging came from the 80's, and it was well below "tolerable." These folks are avoiding the EcoBoost entirely, and would otherwise be prime candidates for the vehicles.

a lot of 4 and 6 cylinder ecoboost out there especially with the f-150, so there are a few that are bound to fail. Someone on the Flex forum reported and shows photos of the oil line seal outside the turbo leaking.
