About 20-25 min. after I got back from the exhaust shop my car out of nowhere stated turning over. I disconnected the battery as fast as I could to turn it off. The keys were not in it and the switch was not in the on position.
The ignition switch is about 2 years old, the wires look fine that I can see.

Ok make it twice now I was letting the car run and I noticed an odd sound and smoke comeing from the starter I turned to key off and the starter is still spinning the motor. So I disconnected the battery pulled the starter and had it tested and it passed. I reinstalled it and all seems to be fine but I am sure the problem didn't just go away

is there any chance the car had some kind of aftermarket remote start added to it at some point?

make sure the wires that go to the starter arent touching when you reinstall the starter. sometimes they can move an touch together completing the circuit

Yeah man take a look at the wires. I once heard a worker at the muffler shop my car was at say that one of the workers there accidentally severed a gas line with his welder and set the bottom of the car on fire!
