Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The audi s4 from 2000-2002 lacks an alarm capable of preventing easy theft. there is no immobilizer and the cars alarm can be easily bypassed and started with a simple screwdriver. s4 thefts are high, compared to the number of these cars actually made the thefts are grossly unproportional. personally i have had to get an aftermarket alarm out of the fear that my high-performance automobile can be stolen by some kid with a flathead screwdriver. *jb
