Default Electrical shock when exiting vehicle!!!!

Just have a question on the issue of being shocked everytime I exit my vehicle. Could this be an electrical malfunction or short somewhere? I do have electrical problems currently with my vehicles Ignition system..... Thanks

It's a static electricity shock due to the cold, dry weather. Very normal.

no electrical problems, what you can do is install a ground strap that lays on the ground when the car is driving or stop. what you're experiencing isstatic shock.

Notthe ground wire (as in the one connected to the battery) but a small ground strap that is connected to the frame and then the ground:
