I sent a letter to DC Product Improvement a short time after I got my 300M in 1998. I recommended about 5 changes that would have been big improvements, like a orange colored 1/2" block icon in the center gauge area which would light up with the gear number that could easily be seen by the driver [not blocked by the airbag compartment when the wheel was turned and you were using Autostick], and confirm for the driver which gear the car was actually in, and a different latch mechanism for the seat belts. They never even bothered to send me an acknowledgment or reply. And, they never fixed any of the areas I commented on, until the seat belt got a bad report from the Nat'l Hwy Safety folks over unlatching problems. If you bombard the customer line and the dealers service departments it might have a better result. Good luck. By the way the Autostick indicator on the Crossfire is in a terrrible location on the dash too.
