2010 Chevy Equinox, 3.0L V6 89K mi

After replacing timing chain, gaskets, seals, throttle body and AWD harness wiring, I’m done with this car and its unending issues. A few weeks back, noticed MPG faltering, next, a fast paced, faint at first, but HORRIBLY strong today, vibration felt underfoot thru floorboards. Leaving work today, notice it won’t come outta 2nd gear for nothin! Vibrations are intense, loud ticking, so I pull off and stop. Idling is low, open hood, ticking loudest under hood. Also can faintly hear a slight dull rattling sound here n there. So, I check oil to be safe, seemed perfect even tho I checked it kinda hot. Took off engine shield cover to look better, and noticed then the oil filler tube was loose, so I turned it to tighten it. The day before I had added a quart, but oil cap was intensely stuck, almost “heat welded” to the filler tube, and when I finally “broke” it free, I’m assuming that filler tube was loosened as well. I don’t even know where to BEGIN thinking with this issue this time, bcuz I did not once get a dashboard Alarm for anything or anyone. Any type of insight would be extremely helpful
