On my house there is about 10 feet long crack on my stucco. What product should I use to fix before it gets worse and cost more to fix?  
It gets a bit wider going towards the bottom.  
 
Sorry for a crooked picture. It showed straight on my phone and lots orientation once loaded on here.

drilling a small hole at the top of the crack to prevent it spreading any more, the straying a silicone sealant over to prevent any mosture entering the crack

From the looks of it, its either sto or apex acrylic stucco. Can take a piece in to match color and get a pail of it. Will have to mix color in with paddle and drill. I think a pail of it is between 65 and 80 dollars. Then you could fill the crack with your finger, its like a thick paint with rock in it. The pails are quiet large and you wont use much out of it. The question I would be wondering about is why it cracked there, if its ground heave or the wire wasn't properly run in the corner, it could just keep cracking.

And to add, will need to clean out the crack and possibly cut a bit out with a utility knife along the edges, Then after filling and it drying, you can add another layer over the parts that are higher to match your finish. If your wanting to try and make it match. If your decent with a knife, you can use the end of your utility knife to fill it with instead of your finger.

I'm not a handywoman at all. I don't own those tools. It is a 2013 house and why the crack I have no clue.  
I'll stick a piece of gum

The house was built in 2013, then I would contact the builder. Should have some home warranty to cover that or at least a professional opinion on what yhe issue is.

Aside from previously mentioned posts about contacting the builder, there is another company around that specializes in stucco and acrylic home and building.  
 
If you are not a handyman type, you could always call for a quote to see if someone could help you.

I am the second owner. I didn't think the house would be covered.

Good luck!

if warranty still good now where do I from there...the home builder which was J&G or my insurance company to cover the cost warranty???

Contact J&G.  
Home insurance has nothing to do with home warranty.  
A good company should stand by their product.  
Good Luck!
