Not sure this is going to be any help to you but I did find this one thread about active handling and associated "shuddering." Again, not sure if on point or not.

I would think about posting over in the Tech Forum if you don't get an answer. Good luck

I have a c5 with active handling and have had an interesting experience. As you driving steady speed straight down the freeway and a shudder or push to the left. I have researched the active handling and come to the conclusion that where I was driving there were stud wear grooves in the road and if you steer into these the active handling thinks your are sliding and applys the brake on one of the front wheels. The only place my car does this is in these deep stud grooves worn in the freeway. So I may all wet but it makes some sense.
