Now it will be interesting to find out who made the panel. Sharp, Samsung, Toshiba, Phillips, Hitachi?
You have the bad kind of stuck pixel which are the stuck on variety. Would hope these are considered class A panels which most quality conscious manufacturers will replace for more than one stuck pixel (including sub pixel).
Of course these "sub pixel" rules differ greatly by manufacturer which are different meaning one Red, Green, or Blue sub pixel element being stuck on may or may not constitute a bad "pixel".

I am a bit OCD and this would drive me crazy. I would focus on it and get annoyed every time I drove the car. I would want the panel replaced but then you have the risk of someone at the dealership screwing something up or damaging your car.

If it drives you crazy, you are crazy. Live with it.

I tend to agree with this. Even if you get them to replace the unit you could end up with another unit with bad pixels not to mention some guy at the dealership scratching your dash trying to replace the unit. I think there will be some magic number of bad pixels before they will replace the unit just like with the television manufacturers.

i'm interested in how bad it has to be before replacing. when i got my first ipad, i noticed a pixel out off to the side. apple said replacements only occur if the pixel is toward the middle of the screen or if you have more than just a few toward the outside.

Nothing new to mechanical systems. Look at all the problems that occur daily on airplanes. The same thing.
