Sounds like the starter relay is sticking when it continue to crank engine over without the key in-try replacing it and see what happens if it continues test the ignition switch

Disregard the starter relay and check and test the manual lever position sensor on top left of transaxle

Check for power on the black and dark blue in the cranking position-no power here-replace the ignition switch.
