... and the static shock depends on what shoes you're wearing, certain shoes get me shocked while exiting a number of different cars.

I've gotten static shock from all of my subies at one time or another. It depends on the seat material, pants, shirts, and shoes you're wearing. Try holding on to a metal part of your door as you slide out of the car. That will get rid of those nasty shocks for good

A loose battery terminal can cause significant voltage fluctuations that could freak out the ECU. I've seen this happen before. The BOV is also a possibility, but if you were in gear when this happened, I would doubt it. You might as well take the BOV apart and clean it for good measure. The TXS units tend to get gunked up and stick.
Thanks
