"Come up with a problem"?

[Mehrgan]

Hi,
Is it correct to say, 'to come up with a problem', meaning "to run into..."?

Is "to be dogged by a problem" used in written English too? Many thanks in advance.

You could come across a problem. Or encounter a problem.

You could come across a problem. Or encounter a problem.

You can also "come up against" a problem. A problem can "dog" you as well if it's persistent and you don't find a solution to it.

I believe "to come up with a problem" could mean to bring the problem forth. It's usually better to come up with solutions!

Thanks. Does "come up against" mean "trying to tackle it" or "running into it"?

"Running into it".

bhaisahab and I rarely disagree, which means that he is almost always right.
