Lawn tractor ignition part delayed and no service help

I purchased a new Lawn Tractor 11 months ago. Bought a good one, or so I thought. Paid $4500. Engine had a problem, no power and smoking. A Kohler 26 HP. Sears online site claims same day or next day service. I called. 2 weeks was the first available. I called every number I could find, even went to the store. NO help. Worst part is that there is no one that has any authority to do anything, and you are not allowed to talk to them anyway. Service tech came in 2 weeks. Problem wasn't terminal, but it needed a ignition module (coil). He didn't have one with him, and would have to order it. He said at least a week to get the part (delivered to my house), so he scheduled me for a date 10 days later. Well, no part came. I received calls and called their "service" center several times. No one could do anything. They couldn't even tell me when the parts would ship. Here's the kicker. I called a local dealer and could get the parts the next day if I wanted to. How come I can get the parts and they cannot? I am waiting for a call from their parts dept., who you cannot call because they have no outgoing lines, to see if they will approve my reimbursement if I buy the part on my own. I don't feel very lucky today. I am 61 years old and this is by far the WORST customer "service" I have ever encountered. There are many details in this exchange over the last 3 weeks that I won't get into. Suffice it to say that there is no one at Sears service that knows what they are doing.
By the way, the service tech was very good. It's not his service I am complaining about.
