Nah...GM or Chrysler will go under before Ford does (although Chrysler has Mercedes backing them). GM is shit deep in the red depsite out-selling Ford for the first time in 20 years (driven largely by Trail Blazer sales). Ford's still going strong with the new Mustang, F-150s, and some of the smaller models. I'd also say that a much larger share of fleet vehicles are Fords (Crown Vics, F-150s, etc.). Sales of Special Service Vics alone probably out do some of the Chevy models. I mean...you see a Crown Vic, you think "cop car". Have you ever seen an Impala cop car? It's so disappointing. Ford's really the only company left making full size V8 sedans. The Mustang doesn't have any real direct competition, either.
As for the Lightnings, I don't know where you got the idea that they were being made poorly, but I haven't seen a single one with a problem of any kind. Besides...they started that whole "big-motor truck" thing. Lightnings came out in either '93 or '94...it took Chevy and Dodge about 10 years to catch up.
