Water is leaking into your car through the windshield and the area around the A-pillar (the vertical support between the front and rear doors). This water can get into the electrical boxes under the dashboard and cause electrical shorts. In rare cases, this could lead to a fire, even when the engine is off. The fix will likely involve resealing or replacing the windshield and inspecting the electrical components for damage.
