Hey, what's up everyone! I'm a new member and just had a quick question. Is it just me or does anyone else get shocked when they turn their teg off and get out and shut the door? It happens to me everytime i get out of my car and its startin to **** me off. Just wonderin if anyone knew why it happens and what I can do to stop it from happening....appreciate it if anyone got back to me on this topic. Thanks guys!

 

I think it's cause of the cold air coming in...I hate winter. GrRRR...

Happens to me almost everytime as well. Don't blow yourself up at a gas station... =p

 

never happened to me (just knocked on wood)

 

thats funny, it happens to me sometimes and I have leather

never say never....

 

I get it too, even down if Fl, as soon as its below 70, zap, I get shocked. I think that it is the friction from the seat and your legs combined with the cold produces Static Electricity. Its a pain in the ***, I get it walking in the mall, I'll touch someone and I ll shock them, playing tennis or anysport. as well. Kinda Weird.

Just touch your girlfriend/boyfiriend/wife/husband before you get out!

 

i have been getting shocked recently too...a lot . when im shutting the door or when i go to start the car and touch the metal around the ignition with my hand. at least now i know why this is happening.

 

i've yet to get shocked. Im in florida, we had our coldest day since last winter today, 60 or so in the morning and 70-80 all day. maybe i'll get shocked when it gets a lil colder

 

Now that I think of it I get shocked every time I get out of my car too. Can't remember what it is, something about the weather and electricity that comes around in the winter. I laugh and natures puny attempt at killing me.

 

I get shocked all the time.........EVERYBODY WHO OWNS A HONDA/ACURA will tell you the same thing. I havent really gotten shock just because its been raining...but I remember a few months ago, I was getting shocked/passengers were getting shocked when they were getting out of the car. I remember that a few times, i've actually seen a spark coming from my key to the trunk...its pretty crazy! but, you'll get used to it.........best thing to do is right before you get out w/ your key in hand...touch the key to something metal (somewhere on your door jam)...you'll probably here a pop or even see a spark...this only works sometimes though.

 

HAHA!

Funny you should post this.

For a while, I was afraid to touch the door for fear of being shocked. I get shocked BAD when I get out of my car.
I think its because, I have bucket seats, and their are tough to get out of, so I build up alot of static electricity.

Yea, I get shocked bad.... alot.

ughhhhhhh i hate getting shocked...yeah you do build up that static electricity...i can just imagine you haha

 

yep......i get the shocker errrr i mean i get shocked all the time when i get out of the car... i just shut the car by the glass instead of the actual door metal.

 

i usually get those little shocks. i touch the cloth part of the door when i get out.

 

My ITR was the worst for that. I grew smart and let my wife get zapped first. hehe.

 

homemade ground kit owns you

 

haha, I've never been shocked.

 

Living in dry, hot Arizona, you get shocked all year round. The best way to not get shocked at all is to open the door a little, then touch the outside metal around the window *BEFORE* you start moving around inside the car.

 

i think its because if you move around in your cloth seat too much youll build up static electricity and it used to always happen to me so now i try not to move around in my seat.

Its almost impossible to not move around alot, and get out of a bucket seat.


I'm doomed.

 

I've never been shocked. I'll say it again, I'VE NEVER BEEN SHOCKED! I'm not knocking on wood either.

Its only a matter of time!

 

just touch the little metal screw in the door handel as you get out, it helps ground you out.

 

wow, nobody knows the solution?

spray static guard on your seats.
