It is usually caused by a low battery and / or alternator not charging correctly .Need to get both tested .

Would that cause any other issues with my electrics? because everything else seems fine including the eco stop/start.

Other possible causes i.e EPAS unit / rack , steering column intermediate shaft knuckle joint .You are better to get it scanned for fault codes rather than guess . Stop / start is USUALLY affected as well but not always for different reasons.
