The most common reason for steering wheel shaking at high speeds is an unbalanced or worn out tires. Have you checked the air pressure and tread levels? If those seem fine, it might be time to get your tires balanced or replaced.

Another possible cause could be an issue with your suspension system. Check for any loose or worn out components such as tie rods or ball joints. It's important to get this fixed as it can affect your steering and overall handling of the vehicle.

If you have recently hit a pothole or curb at high speeds, it could have thrown off your wheel alignment. This can also cause a shaking sensation in the steering wheel. Take your Kia Sportage to a reputable mechanic to get the alignment checked and adjusted if necessary.
