Q: I have a 2013 Nissan Altima and just today when I am driving, the rpm is higher and making a noise when I am trying to get to 50mp

asked by on June 25, 2017

I am trying to accelerate to above 50 on the streets and it seems like the rpm is working too hard to get there. It's making a noise that I haven't heard yet on my car. Had it two years regular oil changes and upkeep no major issues so far.

My car has 92000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
