Firefighters are warning people not to leave full water bottles in the car during the hot weather. If a bottle of water is in direct sunlight, it can start a fire within minutes. The sunlight can create a magnifying effect which could potentially light a piece of plastic or the seat on fire. If you must keep bottled water in your car, firefighters advise keeping it in your trunk. More info can be found by clicking on the link below.

It’s possible, but unlikely. That said, drinking water that’s been in a plastic bottle in a 150 degree car all day can be bad for your health, so don’t leave it.
