long ago and far away i posted a similar question. And she actually bought one of those keychains. As long as the clothes your wearing are washed/dryed with fabric softener and you actually use the keychain youll be okay. she still gets shocked occasionally but its very few and far between.

You know what's funny, I get shocked too almost everytime I get out of my box on a pretty long trip. Before I get out my car and touch the door, I rub my hand against my shirt and that seems to work for me. Funny thing that happens to alot of us. :D

Yep happens to me all the time. I find if I rub my hand against the interior plastic before I get out, no shock. Otherwise, 
i get quite a zap. Had it in every Japanese car I've ever had, but my wifes American Car (MERCURY COUGAR) never does it to me no matter how hard i try!
Must be some kind of payback for Hiroshima

Hey! You might be on to something! I think 1 zap= 1 brain cell killed. Hmmmmmmm............someone do some testing/research and maybe we can start up a class-action lawsuit. :twisted:

I am very relieved to hear that this is a common problem. I thought that I had done something while farting around with my wringing. I even went crazy with my soldering iron and extended ground wires of my gauges to spec frame ground points. Probably not a bad idea, but hearing this it was probably totally unnecessary.
