I am a 787 pilot. It's a very reliable aircraft. My company has the GE GEnX engines on the 787. Really, REALLY bad article title. It should have read, 'Rolls Royce engines unreliable', not 787 unreliable.
Only the Rolls Royce powerplant is the issue?
Friends at Boeing are concerned about the relationship between the new material and the metal structures and temperature.
