It sounds like your cranks have worn internal tapers, and are moving on the spindle. Once they do this they are pretty much toast, as they will always move a bit and wear some more, so the alloy becomes loose on the spindle again. The bolt is then loose too.
There isn't really a cure, apart from replacing them.
