Static electricity very sharp when leaving vehicle. So, have learned to not touch metal when exiting vehicle, but this becomes a problem when I then go to open gas tank, esp when hot and under pressure. I have attached a ground strap which has not solved problem. Only thing that works is to spray seats with anti static, but that wears off. Dealer acknowledges problem, does not know what to do, and there is no tech service bulletin from Chrysler. I am afraid of sparking the gas fumes one day, but also am sick and tired of being afraid of touching the door as the spark is significant and feels like a damn needle. This is not right. My father also bought an identical car and has same problem. He wears gloves all the time for a health problem but when he does not have them on he gets the same shock and it jolts. I haven't tried to measure it, but it's not like taking off your t shirt at night and watching the sparks, this one hurts. Art hyland.
