winter is always worse.. thats why your mom always uses dryer sheets in the winter and hardly at all in the summer. at least thats what i noticed in the 20yrs living at home with my mom..

summer i never notice any shocking when i take my clothes out of the dryer... winter i hate getting in and out of my car and getting clothes out of the dryer!!!

We need to figure out a way to collect the static energy and turn the yaris into a the worlds first hybrid electric that runs off of it's own wasted static electricity!

i was having this problem for a while... it stopped all by itself after a while.

There's a couple things you need to remember ...

- Winter time is always dryer so shock is more prone to happen when getting out of any car.
- Shock depends on what clothes/coat your wearing.

I have this problem more when I have my wool coat on. Suck it up and take it like a man lol.

I have a grounding kit, it doesnt help the static shock.

No problems in the summertime though.
