A Nice, Indecent Little Town - S1-E17
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Michael chases the counter fitter and KITT supposedly jumps over some cars with his turbo boost, you can see a jumping ramp which wasn't there before, painted in the colour of the street behind it. (00:25:25)
Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (2) - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: After Michael gets shot and gets in his car to race to the airport, he calls Devon on the intercom. Before he gets into the car, he flinches and grasps his left side shoulder area where he was originally shot. When he talks to Devon, he's grasping his right shoulder. After he finishes talking and continuing the drive, he grasps the left one again.
No Big Thing - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: As KITT and the truck approach each other, the terrain alternates from tree lined to wide open. Also in the same sequence, after KITT suggests reverse, Michael's hand is shifting from reverse to the low gears.
Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1
Other mistake: After KITT takes over after the hoods steal him, in the big intersection, when KITT's doing donuts, it's a stunt car and driver, as the steering yoke is a regular round wheel.
Other mistake: When the woman plays the video to show the people K.I.T.T, most of the footage you see cannot exist, especially seeing Michael driving inside K.I.T.T on K.I.T.T's monitor. Also when K.I.T.T crashed through the Comtron door from the pilot later on - when Michael sees the footage, this is just footage from other episodes rather than surveillance footage. (00:13:25)
Give Me Liberty... or Give Me Death - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: The General Lee explodes in flames, but in the next shot of the car, you can see that the car on fire is a completely different car. (00:28:50)
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.
Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When KITT first stops talking the Auto Normal and Pursuit mode indicators change from old fashioned very angular with a different font and switches to the newer rounded rectangle with then new font. It does this several times.
Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1
Other mistake: As Michael is driving to Millston, he asks about a radio. When KITT first asks "What would you like to hear?", the red square that indicates he is speaking doesn't blink until the camera does a close up on it.
Other mistake: In an overhead shot of KITT speeding through the desert after Lauren's plane, you can see parts of KITT's hood wobbling against the wind. I seriously doubt a car made to be indestructible would have that happen.
Continuity mistake: Watch the scene where KARR engages in bank robberies. In one charge scene, KARR has the sticker job from Slammin' Sammy's episode, which it doesn't have at any other point.
Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1
Deliberate mistake: Watch the scene when Michael fell asleep. At the end of the cop chase the cops get out. Watch the license plate California KNIGHT in yellow letters. The next scene reads Nevada MCC224 and has an original Trans Am rather than KITT's rear.
Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (2) - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The crooks steal KITT. When KITT announces himself, the crooks slam on the brakes. When the car comes to a halt, the back seat cushion is thrown forward. When the crooks take off, the back seat looks as if it hasn't ever moved forward.
No Big Thing - S1-E8
Visible crew/equipment: After the sheriff radios to the trucker to stop Michael Knight, you can see KITT drive by another KITT parked on the side of the road in the overhead shot. (00:23:40)
Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Michael's bandages are being taken off, his nose and mouth are clear, but after Devon shows up they're covered and are being removed again.
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.
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.
Give Me Liberty... or Give Me Death - S1-E15
Revealing mistake: When the van overturns at the end of the episode, you can easily see the padded roll bars used to protect the actors inside. These bars don't appear anywhere else in the episode.
Just My Bill - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: At the parking lot when the cop calls in a tow truck for the first time, you can spot a man inside the car wearing a white shirt hiding inside. He moves his head trying to avoid the camera angle but fails.
No Big Thing - S1-E8
Visible crew/equipment: When the camera looks at KARR's modulator, it appears to be nowhere in the futuristic dashboard.
Answer: I would say that unless there's visual evidence it was another K.I.T.T. car, as in you could see the bar scanner or cut steering wheel, people on here would correct the mistake by saying more than one 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am was sold and there's no reason it's meant to be a random car.
