Check Engine, Stability light, Eps Light, ETC

So my car (Honda Civic LX 2016) is having an issue whereas when the weather is hot, the check engine light, eps, stability light, tire pressure light and break lights will come on. I have my grounds and battery terminals clean and check, had the terminals tighten by 2 different mechanics. This will fix the problem for 1 week and some change. Now the weird thing that started happening was that when its hot and I turn on the car, no lights will be on, but as soon as I turn the wheel left, the following lights will appear: check engine, stability light, eps, break lights and the tire pressure light. What else can I have them check, this is driving me crazy. Also, I read on another thread that low voltage can cause this but my alternator seems to be charging my battery and I've never had an issue starting the car once.

have someone (car parts store) check your battery and alternator.
now, if turning wheel does that, either something around the ignition and steering wheel column is having electrical issues or the steering rod in engine bay is snagging an electrical wire

Hey, thanks for the reply. I will go to a battery store for someone to check both battery and alternator. Btw, the thing that puzzles me is that the lights do not come on and stay on constantly. Only when it's hot but other than that, if it's not hot I can drive the car perfectly. Would a damaged or pinched wire be triggered by heat?

heat increases resistance. If damaged wire or bad splices done, maaaaybe. Just ideas
