does anyone else in this forum get shocked by your car when you touch the doorhandle? i continuoously get shocked when i touch the damn handle and it sucks. wonder if anyone else has this problem?

 

i get shocked when i put the damn key in ignition! I think it might be wires rubbing when i installed my 7'' lcd monitor in the cubby.

 

It only happens to me when exiting the car (especially when wearing dress pants and shoes), probably due to static from the seats.

 

does it happen a lot only in winter or is it all season?? i shocked myself today 5 times now i slap the door handle fast so that i cant feel the shock anymore (even though sometimes i still do no matter what).

 

+1...could also be from the floor mats. I'm thinking about switching to those aluminum floor mats...may it'll help reduce the static!

 

I didn't notice it as often in the summer, but it happens a lot more in the fall and winter.

 

yep seems to be a worldwide problem, mine is so bad i try and shut the door touching only the window but then when i grab the metal doorhandle at the office i get the shock then

 

doesn't happen in to me in the summer, but it happens all the time in the winter (probably due to the dry air). If you want to avoid it, you can just touch your key to the body of the car before you touch the handle...that should discharge most of the electricity.

 

haha wow i thought i was the only one with this problem...

 

hmmm i havnt gotten shocked, but then again i dont dance in my seat while driving

 

+2, weird thing is it never happens when it rains. Now, every time I exit the car i pull on the door panel the shut the door - never got shocked again.

 

Ha...I was gonna say the same thing. EVERY TIME I get out the car and reach to close the door I get shocked...what's up with that ?!?!?

 

You have to make sure your Steel belted radials are grounded properly.

 

I to have been shock exiting the 350z.Man it shocks the poop outta me,kinda sucks when you know its comming and ZAP.I'm scared to get out of the Z lately.

 

i dont want to touch the actual door to close the door because then it leaves hand smudges and prints on the paint. i have a 06 Daytona Blue Enth 6 speed, and hand prints dont really look good on the car... so i guess im gonna continue to get shocked or wear gloves when i close the door =)

 

Some people generate more electricity then others, that's why some people get shocked while others(like me) do not get shocked.

Now, Have you ever seen cars driving around with two little strips at their back of their car that go right down to the ground? I just thought they were sensors for when people back up their car. But it turns out they are anti-shock strips with a cooper middle to ground the car preventing shocks or reduce shocks.

Hope this helps.
