That is an odd one. Has it ever happened when it is cold? If you play with the key can you make it stop?

Ya it just started doing it when I go to start it. The car turns on runs for a second then the starter will engage. But I put it in neutral and go to start it and it's fine. There is a weird noise from the hood tho when I do that. And when I go to the on position the engine turns over before I even start it.

I honestly think you have a bad ignition switch. That is where I would start.

Let me know what you find.
