Starter came on while driving vehicle at 40 mph. I parked vehicle and turned off the ignition switch and removed the key, and starter kept running. Smoke was coming from under the hood from the battery cables. I disconnected the batteries and the starter stopped. The dealer said the recall for the ignition switch wiring had nothing to do with the starter. I believe there was a short in the ignition wiring that caused the starter to come on. I can not imagine how a starter solenoid could get powered without turning the ignition switch or a short.
