AKRON - Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. has agreed to pay $236 million to settle a class-action case over faulty heating hoses. A U.S. District Court judge in New Jersey gave conditional approval to the settlement Friday. It covers property owners in Colorado and New Mexico. The case centers on a hose called Entran II, which, in many cases, eroded and leaked heating fluid into the walls of homes.
