Already two happy years with my C6 RS6 but lately ... I get "hit" every single time I exit the car, regardless the clothes I wear, the weather, the tires.
Just started like a month ago.
Any ideas?

My wife's Ford Focus was shocking as well (shockingly slow, and gave a shock upon exit). I rooted around and couldn't find any issues or current draw. I was about to install one of those ground straps that drag under the car (here's an example http://www.mizter.com/car-antistatic-ground-strap-assembly.htm), but sold the Ford before I could.

Good luck!
