Default Acceleration without foot on gas: 2010 Honda Accord

Please Help. On flat ground when I turn the car on and put the car in drive and DO NOT press on the gas pedal the car moves at 4 mph continuously. If I turn the wheel I accelerate to 5-6mph. If I am going up a hill it goes 2 mph until I get to the top and then resumes to 4. When at a light with my foot FIRMLY on the break I feel like I'm holding this baby back from taking off. I called service and they said this is normal. I realize a car does move a little without pressing on the accelerator but I feel like the car is moving too much on its own. Is this normal behavior???

Yeah that's normal. Not just with Honda, but with every single auto car I've driven.

This is idling. The engine needs to maintain a certain amount of revolutions or it will cut out. If it's in drive, these revolutions will just be a slow creep. Cars have been doing this for decades. Speeds vary based on design.

Completely normal. Think of it this way, an automatic car has a clutch too. If RPM/throttle is not applied the car will stall.

EVERY auto. car will do this.
