No crank or anything when I turn the key. What could it be.

What is your question?

My father who is not a huge fan of high tech vehicles, happened to drive my CX-7 the other day. Without knowing that you could manually shift gears on an automatic transmission, he had it on manual and thought the car was just running rough, and was going to stop at the gas station near by to check what the problem was... Well, he didn't go to far, maybe 1.5 mile and the car died on him, he turned it on one mere time and drove about 30 feet before it died again, and never came on after that. The battery and starter are both 6 months old. All the dash lights come on but no crank or anything at all when you try to start. What could it be? ((( HELP )))

How long has your 2008 Mazda CX-7 had this problem?
