It's not related to any grounding problem and it's not just you but some of your friends as well. Static buildup when there is friction between 2 materials. It could be your seat cover or your carmat that is high in this static discharges. Try to isolate and you might be able to find the fault.

Hi guys, this is common issue, this topic has been discussed before. Its due to individual body static volume i guess. I driving Lancer now, previously Suzuki ignis also got static even car got grounding done. Slim person tends to have higher chance of this happening maybe. Cos I ask my fren (chubby fella) - he dun have this static on his Lancer hahahaha.

 

So I usually open door, right hand touch leather seat push out, person get out then close door by touching door visor top portion. No problem at all haha! Try this method.

My friend used to have this problem with his Hyundai Accent many years back. He even sent the vehicle back to the AD and they even fly in their expert from Korea but still could not resolve the problem. The problem is finally resolved when his vehicle was sold

Maybe for TS and you, can get some feathery cloth to discharge first before touching the metallic part

i hv encountered with supermart trolleys too.. i was ignorant to think i m one of few who's highly charged with static.. now dat i read more i see many are experiencing it..

Your advice would cause more static.

 

Contrary sweaty palm is wet. If body is wet, it's more difficult to built up static.

 

And your feathery comment, rubbing your dry hand on feathery cloth would built up static even faster..

No sweaty palms leh. I only get zapped by the trolley whenever I touch the metal cage of the trolley. But for cars, so far never experience static shocks.

Hi Green,

 

Its can simply solved by touching the body of car eg door with your hand firmely to discharged any static electric from the car body via your body. You will not get the zap and its that simple. Kkyi
