Well it sounds like "corporate speak". People might say it, and it will be understood, but it sounds strained. I think 'relevant' needs two parts, A is relevant to B, like:
"The description of the problem is still relevant to the current condition."
Simpler:
"This is still a problem" is a very common way of stating it.

This is OK to say.
You can also say:
This problem is still a concern.
This problem is still important.
This problem is still a current matter.
Good luck!
