Hi, I have a nissan quest and I been getting shocked alot lately by just
touching the body of the car usually while getting out of the car, I also
got shocked while under the hood touching the radiator. I was wondering if
any new why it was doing this. Could it be an electricaly problem with the
car?

Assuming your car is not connected to mains electric power for
some reason, it's not the car. It's most likely your shoes
and/or synthetic clothing and a dry atmosphere. Classic static
electricity build-up.

Yup.
it's probably his butt sliding across the car seat generating the
charge.there are anti-static sprays,or you can wipe a dryer "cling-free"
sheet on the seat,or just brush a knuckle against the door frame before you
touch any metal.
