ok for the few weeks everytime i open or close my doors i get static SHOCk.. and its little shock, its the ones the make u sort of jump... anyone have any ideas what the problem is???

 

same here man, it just ******* started too. today it did it bad and i almost wanted to hit the ******.

 

maybe its weather?

Mine never did it and i heard about it, then for a while it started doing it a lot, now it doesnt do it anymore...

 

its from the weather, notice how it never happens in the summer but u seem to always get shocked fall/spring time......

 

our cars are turning against us.

lol, the day my car turns against me is the day i get rid of it.....lol, but she's treating me well

 

lol

 

Haha i never thought about it being the weather. I thought it was my floormats (i have those all weather ones from autozone).

But, I hate that shock! Everytime i get out of my car, I kinda tap the door real fast so the pressure from the tap overrides the shock! Haha.

 

spray some downey fabric softner onyour carpets and it will go away.

 

yeah this happenes to me too....i notice its when i wear cotton..and it only happens if you have cloth seats...guys with leather get away i think.

 

its all in the weather...when its windy or slightly windy you will be shocked..or in dry weather...i just flick my door before i close it...that way i dont get startled when i go to close it. ppl ask me why i always flick my door

 

i have leather seat in my car and its still happen to me a few times
so its not just ppl with cloth seats

 

i used to watch that cartoon...STATIC SHOCK

 

I was tired of getting shocked everytime I got out of the car so yesterday I closed my door by touching the glass... then I went over to my g/f and put my hands behind her back and BOOM!!! it was a crazy *** ZAP! I just started cracking up. haha. kind sad so then for the rest of the day I just took the zap so she don't have to be zapped everytime.

 

It's probably due to lack of humidity, so just spray down the car's fabric with Febreeze or some Downy mixed with water and it should cure it.

 

this is hilarious, i just noticed this the other week. so i told my girlfriend to see if it shocked her. and it did, so we were at the gas station for probably 5min. getting in and out of it laughing. right as u sit in the seat and get out and touch the top of the door *SHOCK!*.. man, this is good news, i thought my car wanted me to die or something..

 

damn i tuaght it was just me... lolz glad u ppl didnt think this topic was stupid and flame da shitz outta me...lolzzzzzzzz

anymore stories???

I have a 2000 with leather and I get shocked sometimes. I was told it is the weather, something about it being dry and dense or some ****. I dunno. All I know is in the summer time there is no shock.

 

BUMP

isn't that kind adangerous at a gas station lol!!

 

Happens to me alot, usually during the cool weather. Going to buy some static x tommorow.

 

You wont get shocked if you hold onto your door frame (or anything metal) before/during getting out of your car. It's from a lack of humidity as stated above and when you slide off your seat you scrape electrons off giving yourself a charge so when you touch something w/ a nuetral charge it releases in the form of a spark.
