Assuming a first generation Sportage, sounds like a problem with the vehicle speed sensor on the back of the transfer case (4wd) or transmission extension housing (2wd).
Could be as simple as a corroded/broken wire, through to a malfunction in the sensor. Take it to Autozone and get the codes read and let us know what they are (to be absoluteluy sure...).
Realistically a 5 min fix (wire) or 1/2 hour tops to replace the VSS. Cost of a new VSS$??? but not more than $50 or so from a wreckers/breakers/junkyard.
