Continuity mistake: When Michael falls off the plane and onto KITT's hood, he is not wearing his leather jacket as he tries to stuff it in the rudder to stop the plane from taking off. Very next scene, he awakens in the FLAG Semi, wearing the jacket that fell into the driver's seat as he fell off the plane. I doubt the doctor would take the time to put Michael's jacket back on.
Continuity mistake: When Michael is in K.I.T.T and he is taking the professor's blood pressure, the boot is open. When it goes to an outside shot of K.I.T.T driving away it is closed. (00:03:50)
Continuity mistake: When Michael rescues Bonnie and asks K.I.T.T to meet him, one minute it is night time, next scene bright daylight. If it was morning it wouldn't be that bright. This is where they have possibly used footage from a previous episode. (00:26:20)
Continuity mistake: When they arrive at the museum and start to unload K.I.T.T it is raining fairly hard. When it cuts to Bonnie and the Professor and the woman it isn't raining. This keeps happening throughout the scene. (00:38:15)

Continuity mistake: When Michael is racing to the airfield to stop the bad guys, when you see inside the car it is clear and sunny outside. Next shot of outside with the car skidding the driver is wearing a different costume, possibly taken from another episode. Then the outside is foggy, back to clear, then foggy as he approaches the jump. (00:39:15)

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"
