Your rotors could be warped. If the lug nuts were put on too tight that could cause the rotors to warp. You could also have a bad caliper which isn’t allowing the piston to retract slightly causing the pads to rub on the rotor which creates heat. You can check the temperature of the rotors with a heat gun after a drive to see if you have one or both rear rotors overheating.

I would look at the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). You can test this by just unplugging the TPS, if you car starts running better you may have a bad TPS. You could also have lost the 5v reference voltage which could also cause the same problem. You can back probe the TPS to verify you have a 5V reference voltage.

I’ve had that happen before also and the car threw a misfire code. I changed the spark plugs and that fixed the problem. You can also get a misfire by having a loose belt or a bad belt tensioner. The key is getting the code read to find out for sure what your particular problem is.

The Key fob or the lock switch could be malfunctioning and sending a signal to lock the doors. I had a key fob that the button malfunctioned and was stuck closed so every time I was in range the locks would lock and unlock uncontrollably.
Or there may be someone in your family trying to mess with you by pushing the button when you’re next to the vehicle. 😉

Have you done any work on your cooling system? It’s possible that there is an air leak which is causing the engine to over heat but isn’t increasing the temperature of the coolant to force the fan to come on. I would check for leaks and bleed the coolant system.
