My Car Shocks Me!!!

Post by talktonight »

I have an Acura Integra Type R vintage 2000. I have not had the car for long. Everytime I get out of the car it shocks me. Is this common among type R's? What might be causing this?

I have the same problem! I was looking for a solution when I came across your problem. I have a 1990 Ford Tempo GL. Recently everytime I turn off the car and get out, it shocks me and sometimes the passenger as well.

What is going on with our cars?

it is the set, ever time you move your butt across the seat it builds a charge and when you thouch somthing you get shock. It is more commen in women then men, because of the kind of clothes that women wear are more apt to creat a charge. That is the reason women have more gas pump fires.
