When I take off I hear a popping sound like my tire axle about to break and I can feel it under my gas pedal. Then as my speed picks up it meddles out but as long as I slow down and increase speed it will make the popping sound again.

Hello,

It sounds like you might have a CV axle that is defective. As the CV what turns the wheels, when they are under load, when you accelerate they make the popping noise.
You might want to have a look under the front of the car right inside the wheel (where the CV shaft goes in). Many times the CV boot ruptures and you will have grease coming out.

Have a look at this article it might be helpful:

Please let me know what you find.

Thank you.
