Hello. There are a lot of things that can cause this. If vehicle was having trouble getting to that speed then it may be a transmission issue or it can be something like a catalytic converter that is failing. If the engine is revving high when this occurred then it may have been due to the transmission slipping which would mean that it is failing. If the engine just seemed under powered then it may be caused by a failing converter or an issue within the engine. Now that it has a knocking noise that also makes me think that there may be a serious engine or transmission failure.
