Then something is engaging the solenoid on the starter you'll either have to replace the starter or find out what is causing it to do that like something hitting the start pole of solenoid

It would help if y ou give us all the details instead of endless emails like you are doing. It may be the starter relay which is in the underhood fuse box. But if that doesn't cure it then you have amore serious problem like a shorted wires or something similar
