VX's and Axiom's are NOT same..NOT EVEN CLOSE... the VX is built on Trooper chasis...Axioms I have checked out and they are WAY WEEKER in build...more like on RODEO CHASIS... an Axiom could not take even close the beating a VX can.

But, yes I have had my VX in the shop for probably 6 months total time since April 2001 when I pulled it off showroom floor. Usually they say they can not warranty anything because I have MODIFIED the VX by installing an after market air cleaner, which voids everything... or that nothing is covered under warranty.
