My car showed the same problems yesterday!
Additionally there was/is a transmission error code P0740
Any idea what´s wrong?

The P0740 code is related to the Torque convertor clutch having a problem. Chrysler has had a lot of trouble with their transmission control computers over the last several years and these are some of the issues that crop up. I would take the vans to a tranny shop and have them scan it to determine if the problem is in the transmission or the computer. Replacing the computer is a lot cheaper than changing the transmission.
