Trust Doesn't Rust - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, KARR doesn't appear to have a rear number plate as KITT does. However, in the shots of KARR smashing through windows/walls, he has KITT's ‘KNIGHT' plate.

Inside Out - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the driver of the lorry is radioing for a situation check, you see the driver with a radio in his hand. When you see them drive by and hear him still asking, the driver of the lorry isn't holding a radio, but has both hands on the steering wheel.

The Final Verdict - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Michael and Marty are being chased and shot at, K.I.T.T jumps over the top of a hill. In the next shot of K.I.T.T driving away, you see a wheel trim rolling down the hill which has fallen off K.I.T.T. (00:39:45)

A Plush Ride - S1-E12

Revealing mistake: As KITT is rolling down the hill with the unconscious Michael inside, the shots of KITT from the outside show that the bonnet and roof have large and obvious gaps between them and the rest of the bodywork (presumably a stunt vehicle). When KITT fires it's turbo boost, the bodywork is its normal flush self again.

Forget Me Not - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: When KITT is in the valet carpark, he pushes the cars in front of him forwards. It is very obvious they have attached rubber protectors to the bumpers to prevent damage. Also, when KITT is driving by himself 10 seconds later, you can see the stunt man's hands driving the car.

Forget Me Not - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When KITT drives off the edge of the cliff, the car changes from a pontiac to another standard car a number of times. When KITT lands, his flight trajectory was from approximately 10 feet, not 100 feet. He should have landed like a belly flop onto the sand, not a shallow dive.

Forget Me Not - S1-E13

Other mistake: When Michael is carrying Micki up the cliff, she's supposed to be unconscious. But he's not holding on to her and her hand stays wrapped around his neck to hold on. Not something she should be able to do. When they're near the top, her hand position changes, but she's still able to hold onto him.

Hearts of Stone - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: When K.I.T.T is called by Michael to get between them at the drive by shooting, you can see on the right side of K.I.T.T all the special effect plugs that replicate gun fire hitting the car. (00:09:20)

Hearts of Stone - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When KITT jumps into the empty factory to save Michael the ramp is set a foot higher than the floor, yet when they drive out the same hole, the ramp is level with the floor so it can be driven down.

Hearts of Stone - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When KITT lands in the back of the pick-up truck near the end of the episode, the internal shot shows the girl starting to get out of the passenger's side. But in the next external shot, she is getting out of the driver's side.

Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1

Devon Miles: Welcome aboard the Knight 2000.
Michael Long: Thank you. What's all this? It looks like Darth Vader's bathroom.
Devon: It's a one-of-a-kind car, Mr. Long. It is the fastest, safest, strongest car in the world. It is also completely fuel-efficient and it is operated entirely by microprocessors, which make it it virtually impossible for it to be involved in any mishap or collision. Unless, of course, specifically so ordered by the pilot.
Michael: Pilot? Don't tell me this thing flies.
Devon: No, but it thinks.
Michael: It thinks? My car thinks?
Devon: We like to think of it as our car.

Answer: KITT didn't choose to go off the cliff in Goliath Returns, it just happened as he tried to avoid Goliath. Just 'cus it happened, doesn't mean It's gonna cure his fear of "flying"
