Question 96 Pontiac Transport Broken Seats

I have one broken seat in the back, the one by the side door. I took the material off and found that it is made of metal tubing with a tin piece welded to the tubing. The metal is so thin that it ripped a hole through the tubing where the spot weld is.

Today I was in my driveway when I leaned back to zip up my jacket when the drivers seat broke off on the right side where it attach's to the base. It turns out the the bolt that holds the seat to the base on the right hand side broke in half. It would be the forward bolt.

Just a note that the seats were wobbly from day one. I bought it as a Certified GM used vehicle. I checked the front passenger seat while was at it and found the bolts are very loose.

I am glad this happened in my driveway, I can't imanage what would have happened if I was on the highway.

Is this crazy or what. Any one having this problem? If the seats in the back are not solid chances are that they have broken.
