While in stop & go traffic (in the rain) van started pulling rhythmicly (like a tire had a bump or something). Pulled off at next exit to inspect - tires fine but started making grinding noise. Went away while driving to nearest gas station and came back when pulling in. Turned van off, noise faded (didn't go away immediately when engine shut off). Started engine, no noise, shift into gear (any reverse/drive...), noise comes back. Now car will not move. When in drive I apply pressure to gas pedal and it doesn't move. Checked oil & tranny fluid - both look fine (level and color).
SOURCE: car won't start wants to turn over but nothing.
sounds like you have a blown head gasket this would explain loss of coolant and running poorly excessive smoke.

try putting a plug-in magnetic heater on the transmission if you know in advance that it will be that cold. your fluid might be too thick to perform its hydraulic duties. maybe a new filter too, which is located inside the pan.
SOURCE: Oil Pressure light comes on....
The oil light should come on when the car stalls, this is normal. The stalling isn't, do u have a warranty thru the dealer u purchased it from? Most have at least a 30 day warranty. A 2004 should have included some type of warranty. U should bring it back, and they should correct the problem at no charge if u recently purchased it, and there is some sort of guarantee. Let me know if there is.

Have your transmission oil filter changed;
it is located under the transmission pan
The oil is what makes the transmission shift
When you shut off the engine it stops the transmission pump then when you start up again the transmission shifts until the filter clogs again
