Sounds like the volume control is about to fail completely on ya. Since its most likely a rotary **** type of control its really a potentiometer and is shorting out in various places along its rotation.

The only real solution is pulling the radio and having it repaired---not always the most cost effective method. Buying a new, gently used or refurbished OEM unit from eBay etc might be the easiest swap for this.

I'd put an after market stereo in if I were you, a lot more features and sounds much better.

This is the Pioneer navigation system I put in my 2012 F-250, much better than the stock system.
