Why does my car door shock me?

Question

Every time i get out, and close my door, i get shocked. Its quite annoying.

Answer 1

it doesn't like you...................no really,maybe you have lots of static electrisity in you region or u ,or maybe u need to get it checked out because it could be a difficult problem with you engine or something.............also trie getting new interior cause it could be caused by u sliding across the seats to get out.

Answer 2

It's just the static electricity. Try to open your door all the way and touch the ground with your feet before the door with your hand. You could also just put an old t-shirt or towel on the seat. The difference in fabric may make a difference. I don't really see the radio thing, maybe a loose wire if there are power door locks in the door. Any type of metal will ground you though, so you could try touching the bottom frame of the door with your shoe as you get out too, or maybe just holding your keys will do the trick!

Answer 3

I too have had this problem. While holding on to the door place your feet on the ground when you get out the car. You won't get shocked. Try it. It works for me.

Answer 4

This happens to me too. Static electricity. One possibility is that rubbing against your seat as you drive deposits a static charge on yourself, which discharges through the car when you touch the door.

Answer 5

You are sliding out of the car across either nylon or leather, static electricity

Answer 6

You have some sort of pornographic image on the door or something? What is it that shocks you?

Answer 7

Everyone has to ground themselves, there's no way around. I suggest that you touch a good ground iron pipe @ your home, before you go to your car.

Answer 8

Static electricity. It happens to everyone.
