Ford is going through a tough transformation that may or may not pan out. Meanwhile, if you have particular skills and Ford is willing to compensate you justly for those skills - and so long as you are afforded opportunities to enhance your skill set or find satisfaction in some other esoteric fashion at the company... Why not stay?
Employment is a roll of the dice no matter who you work for. Read the table as best you can and be mentally prepared for being up and down.

While I agree with your sentiment i'm not sure i would say it is "a roll of the dice" because it is not entirely random.

It's really a risk/reward proposition that can influence the odds.
