The scene where the forklift dumped KITT into that pit of toxic waste and he was calling to Michael for help (as his voice got lower and lower as he was "dying") was really upsetting to watch lol.
shareI saw this episode as a 6 year old and I admit to bursting into tears when I saw this episode. After that I was scared to watch other episodes in case it happened again. Silly things that go through your mind at that age.

It was a scarring episode, especially considering it's just a simple tractor that almost destroys K.I.T.T. so easily - after all, it's supposed to be indestructible, and yet it gets destroyed so easily and quickly.
K.I.T.T.'s psychological problems afterwards are laughably silly nowadays (why would a COMPUTER have that, geez), but back then, it left a deep impact. Not a particularly good episode, but I guess it's one of the 'classics', as it's more about K.I.T.T. than saving some farom from roaming gang of bikers by joining a circus and winning a bike race as a car.
