A list of some of the current problems with Einstein's general theory.
(practitioners will tend not to regard most of these as problems)

GR1915 problem 4.0
Artificial division between "gravitational" and "nongravitational" physics Eliminated. Curvature-based principles throughout.
Different versions of lightspeed constancy for "inertial" and "gravitational" physics Purely-local, gravitationally-mediated c-constancy thoughout
Cosmological horizon issues Difficulties eliminated by explicit use of acoustic metric
Equivalence Principle compatibility issues
(SR clock hypothesis)
Full gravitational-equivalence for acceleration, no forced SR reduction to flat spacetime
Incompatibility with QM QM reconsidered as statistical result of projecting acoustic metric properties onto a simpler surface
Incompatibility with indirect radiation through gravitational horizons Modified equations of motion, allowing "acoustic metric" behaviour across r=2M
Black Hole Information Paradox (see previous)
Distinction between gravitational, cosmological and velocity-shifts, different rules for each Unified by acoustic metrics and non-SR relationships throughout 
Inconsistent application of velocity-dependent gravitomagnetic effects General application of gravitomagnetic principles
Division between physics of the very large and physics of the very small Curvature principles applied even to the motion of basic massed particles
