4 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Service rep stated brakes need to be replaced as well as rotors. Stated front pads are almost at wear sensor. Need to be replaced. Rotors also need to be replaced--corroded due to severe weather conditions in the buffalo area this past winter. Rotors cannot be turned because they would be below specs and cause pulsating. Rotors as not damaged by brakes but by road salt? Chrysler stated I have no recourse. Please advise.
