At present, no problems.

15 years ago, scientists had no explanation for the small number of solar neutrinos detected at our Earth. Either we didn't understand neutrino formation in our Sun, our detectors were wrong, or neutrinos had the capacity to decay. The latter seemed to be the least likely possibility, so scientists argued for many years which of the first two was correct.

In 1998 it was discovered that neutrinos do, indeed, decay into other neutrinos. The reason we weren't seeing as many neutrinos as we expected was because the ones we were expecting to see had decayed into other types. So the solar neutrino problem is no longer a problem.
