 2009 fx35 infiniti more than 80% of the time i experience electrical shocks after exiting my car touching the door to close it. i contacted an infiniti to investigate and was told they found grounds o.k. and suggested before exiting the car i should touch the inside of the door frame to dischage any electrcal current especially if i were to gas up the car.i contacted infinity usa to see if they had a solution to this problem and after checking with there technical staff they said there was nothing they could do except recommend i go to anouther infiniti dealer and have them investigate the problem. the bottom line is nothing was found and there was nothing further the could do.i don't like being shocked touching the exterior of my car but even a greater concern is the potential for a fire or worse yet explosion gasing up.just to expand a bit on the shoes i wear at the time of these shocks it dosen't seem to matterif the souls are leather or rubber, either way it happens. please advise me.

 My car started rather violently lurching when i accelerated. this was followed by an apparent electronics failure in the car. the speedometer stopped working. turn signals stopped working. brake light came on by itself. air conditioning went off. various icon lights that i did not recognize came on. when i stopped the car it would not turn off. after a while the ac came back on and i was able to turn off the car. when i came back to the car to drive again later, after a short period of time the incident started again. i called the dealer in san antonio, gunn infiniti, and they could not help me on the phone. i called their road number and they arranged to have the car towed to san antonio. they have had the car for over a week and have not figured out what has caused an apparent defect in the car's computer affecting the electronic syster. at no time did i feel that i was in danger while driving, although without a functioning turn signal and speedometer i could not have driven for long. as of monday, march 8 they still have the car and have not been able to determine the cause of the failure and have not given me an estimated time when they think they will have the car back to me. *tr
