It looks like someone filled it in with cement years ago and all that
seemed to do was widen the crack. Is there a product on the market
that will fill the gap without expanding it?


The crack widened by itself


yup!

I filled a garage floor crack ~20 years ago with epoxy structual
adhesive...worked great for a long time but the crack widened slightly

how wide is the crack? Is the crack stable (obviously not completely
since the crack opened)

if it's less than 3/8" I'd use a flexible material like SIKA self-
leveling grout (sealant?)...comes is jumbo caulk tube, works great
unless you've got a bottom less crack or the floor has an appreciable
slope

search the group for another's experience
