Front Seat Heater/cooler Problems of Jeep Liberty

On February 1, 2019 around 11:40pm, I was driving with my Jeep's seat heater on. Approximately 30 minutes later I smelled something burning. I reached around to feel my coat was extremely hot, so I grabbed a frozen bottle of water from my lunch bag and placed it between me and my seat. Not thinking that my seat was catching fire. When I pulled into a parking lot I noticed a hole in my seat cover. I pulled seat cover off and saw the scorch marks on my seat. Also a burn mark on back of coat. When I got home I checked my back and had a small burn mark.
